You can be smart with- out being formal. If you are not sure, then ask – take advice from a trusted friend or check the racecourse website for dress codes.
It’s summer – inject some life and colour in to your outfit.
It’s summer – take an umbrella!
Spring has arrived, and with it the flat racing season. With Newmarket, ‘the home of racing’, right on the doorstep, a day (or evening) at the races is a must on the social calendar. But what to wear? Racecourses often have dress codes and these can vary. With the dark months of winter behind, colour and fashion come alive, but certain occasions have dress etiquettes all of their own; a stag party, heading to a relaxed race night event, may look great dressed as their favourite super heroes, but cut-off jean shorts are not going to be approved when you present yourself at Ascot’s Royal Enclosure! To help point you in the right direction, let’s take a look at a couple of examples. The Premier enclosure at Newmarket encourages smart dress. Men tend to wear smarter trousers and formal shoes. A lightweight, semi-structured jacket sits perfectly with tailored cotton trousers and an open neck cotton shirt. Many ladies will opt for a hat to complement their summer dress, but men need not feel left out; a genuine Panama cuts quite the dash and affords protection on what we all hope will be a sunny day. Still confused about what to wear - think ‘smart wedding!’ In the Grandstand, Paddock and Family enclosure, a more relaxed dress code is followed, but (and this I am afraid refers mainly to men) relaxed need not mean ‘got dressed in the dark’. Here racegoers will often be seen in shorts and T-shirt, looking to make the most of summer. But remember, slogans on shirts can be offensive and may result in entry being refused. Tailored shorts can look very smart, without losing that relaxed feel. Teamed with classic deck shoes a polo shirt and lightweight cotton sweater, the look is complete. If you are heading to Royal Ascot then you would do well to remember that the Royal Enclosure dress code requires thought when planning your outfit. For men, black or grey morning dress is required, and must include waistcoat, tie and top hat. These are not items readily found in most men’s wardrobes, but your local hire wear stockist should meet your needs. The code for ladies allows for a little more freedom, but modesty is the key; dresses are to be just above knee length or longer and straps to be 1” wide or greater. Midriffs should be covered!
