If there
is one event that screams summer it has to be a day at the races. But what
should you wear to the races? Here is MizEllie's guide to the best racing gear.
According
to the Royal Ascot dress code women in the Royal enclosure, which is the
poshest part of the course so to speak, should wear formal day wear. They
should also wear skirt that come just to the knee or lower, while dress and top
straps should be one inch or wider, while pashminas and jackets should also be
worn topped off with a hat of course. While in the Grandstand women should also
dress in a manner that befits a formal occasion. So what are MizEllie's tips
for a perfect race day outfit?
Dress for the occasion
It's a
good idea to dress on the more formal side so think the kind of outfit you
would wear for a wedding. So a chic dress that comes to the knees and is quite
formal will be perfect for the occasion. Or why not try a chic trouser or skirt
suit? That way you will stand out for the right reasons and will still look
utterly fab.
Don’t forget the scarves
A chic
women's scarf could be your saviour at the races. At Ascot if you are in the
Royal enclosure you are expected to wear a pashmina or jacket but when it is
hot you won't want to wear a full on jacket so why not wear a gorgeous silkscarf as a pashmina. It will look stunning but also will be a good alternative
to your jacket.

Have fun with your jewellery
At
MizEllie we loved the outfits Princess Beatrice and Eugenie wore recently to
the Epsom derby. They picked their outfits to match the occasion perfectly but
still added personal touches with their fab costume jewellery. At MizEllie we
loved Beatrice's fab statement gold cuff and lusted after Eugenie's subtle
friendship bracelet. Or of course why not take inspiration from the Queen who
as usual wore a stunning set of pearls proving you can still look glamorous
whatever your age.

Don't forget the hat
When it comes to going to the races it is all about your
headgear so have some fun with your hat. Just make sure it suits your face
shape but really the world is your oyster when it comes to your hat so go to
town!
