Top Twenty Dresses To Wear To The Races

Race day dressing comes with a specific set of rules.

Short hemlines will undoubtedly be frowned upon, cleavage that may have been a hit the night before is now a major fashion faux pas, and few things are worse than she who tries, and miserably fails, to totter around in too-high heels atop grass.

One would be forgiven for thinking that Race Day may not be the most fun event on the fashion calendar to prep ones wardrobe for. Here, however, are twenty dresses to make you think otherwise. The Races are a fabulous excuse to dress up and flounce your fashion credentials. Think prim and proper, with an edge.

Perhaps you’d like to invest your hard earned cash in a something simple and elegant. The monochrome Balenciaga number will be beyond amazing with a fascinator and some colourful heels. For something a little bit more sexy, try the pink strapless dress from up-and-coming brand Rebson. If you’re not comfortable going sans-sleeve come Race Day, pop a white shirt underneath for a fun, fashion-forward alternative. My bargain of the bunch is from Hobbs. This is for the girl who wants to do a bit of a Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman look. This polka dot beauty is Race Day perfection.
