Racing Season is here and the sun is shining. Finally, it’s the perfect excuse to pick out a beautiful dress and, more importantly, a big hat!

When it comes to choosing an outfit for the races there a few things to consider:

1) Is there a dress code?

Some events/enclosures have specific dress codes which require a certain dress length and hat size. Others, such as Huntingdon Racecourse, are not strict but ask ladies to wear “Smart daywear with a hint of playfulness”. It’s not everyday you get to wear this outfit, so have fun with it!

2) Can you wear those shoes all day long?

Be sure to invest in a pair of shoes that are formal, but also comfortable. Good quality leather will mold to the shape of your foot and will make wearing a heel so much more comfortable.

3) Do you feel fabulous?

Floral, vibrant, monochrome, classic – whichever you feel best in, go for it.
