From fun florals to sophisticated slips and perfect polka dots, here’s our guide to what to wear to the races this year.
Polka dots are a summer staple, and they’re the perfect way to add a spot of fun to your race outfit. Polka dot dresses are super-cute, with options from halterneck and cowl-neck dresses to bodycon dresses . You can even pick your dots, with tiny polka prints, trims or something big and bold.
Nothing says sunshine-ready quite like flowers. Whether it’s floral dresses with an all-over print or a cute nod on a trouser suit or a jumpsuit , florals are a gorgeous way to stop your race-day outfit looking forgettable. You can even make your floral prints extra subtle with a cute flower-covered handbag or clutch .
Slinky, stylish and seriously easy to wear, slip dresses are an easy win for the races. Best of all, you can dress them up or down: If you’re going to one of the more formal race events with a dress code, choose a longer-length slip dress and pair it with a blazer and heels for a dressier vibe.
Mini dresses are in, but they’re best worn for less-formal racing events. They’re an amazing choice if you get the weather and you can dress them up with hair accessories and wedges so your heels don’t sink into the grass by the race track. Just be sure to check your race day’s dress code first!
