What to wear for the races

Author: timothyjekkis

Going away to the races can be a fantastic experience, but full of with doubt about what and what not to wear to the races. Never fear! This feature can assist you by describing the different dress codes and styles for the main races as well as some help to choose your dresses for the races.

The following fashion guide can help you select what to wear to the races.Generally speaking, think of a day out with the girls in the summer. Hot trends for this year include 50s references, floral prints, full skirts and brighter colours - ideal to find that perfect, stand out from the crowd dress for you.

After picking your dress, you have to decide if you want to wear a hat or a fascinator. However at most of the races, wearing hats or fascinators is not required, wearing some headwear will mean you don't feel left out as the best outfits always has one. During Ladies day at Ascot, these are often outrageous. Remember to know when Ladies Day at the races are so you can plan for it.

Fashion tips

1. Dress in a style that suits you, instead of the the style that is in season. If you buy a dress just because it in style but doesn't suit you, you will look to be like a fashion victim. Find something elegant, like a dress that falls to the knee or just underneath it and perhaps a classic or modern styled suit. If you would wear the dress out at night to a bar, then it's probably not appropriate for the races.

2. Dress for the weather - if it is cold, windy and raining, you won't enjoy your day at the races. To keep warm, find a jacket, cardigan or bolero to wear which matches and complements your look.

3. Wear a hat or fascinator that matches your outfit. The hat or fascinator you select should fit with your ensemble instead of distracting attention away from it. Select your clothing first then find some headwear. When picking hats, the bigger the better. No bare heads, ever.

4. You bag and shoes should pair with your dress in fashion and quality to look excellent.

5. Be realistic with your shoe choice - don't forget you will be out all day on your feet, a handy tip can be to take along another pair of shoes. Keep in mind, stilettos don't do so well on grass.

These tips should guarantee that you stand out from the crowd when you go to the races. Every female there will be in their most desirable dress looking stylish but you don't want to stand out for the incorrect reasons. Sopay attention in choosing your dress and ensemble - look at the largest assortment you can find so you won't constrict your choices. To recap: the essentials are a classy dress (not too short), outrageous headwear (apart from weddings it is the only event you can wear one), comfortable shoes and matching accessories. I wish you a fantastic day out at the races and at Ladies Day.
