Race Day & Cocktail

We all know that going to the races is a great day out, and whilst dressing for the occasion as well as the weather is important, many racecourses now have strict dress codes. So, when choosing your outfit remember to check the dress regulations for the racecourse and race meet you are attending.
If you are invited to a “dressy” party, cocktail reception or wedding, many of the headpiece styles that are suitable for Ladies Days at the Races will also be accepted at these events.

So before making a definite choice, check the dress codes for the event you are going to – for instance if you are lucky enough to receive an invitation to an event where the dress code advice is “Cocktail” – etiquette guides that men would normally wear a smart lounge suit or black tie. Meanwhile, women might choose an evening style trouser suit or a short sparkly evening dress finished with a small, perching hat which could be finished with beading, feathers not to mention a little pizazz!

You will find a selection of race day and cocktail hats and headpieces in the Ready to Wear Online Store and once you’ve checked out the styles on my website, if you would like to commission a couture piece, for your special occasion, please just get in touch.
