Official Dress Code

Officially there is no dress code – their motto is ‘Dress to feel Your Best’ – the more relaxed and comfortable you feel, the more likely you are to have a great time. So that could mean wearing a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers or for a big race meeting such as Tingle Creek Festival you may choose to dress up.  Whichever you decide, remember to dress for the weather. Fancy dress is permitted as long as the outfit is not offensive and the racecourse reserves the right to decline entry should the need arise. Sports team kits are not permitted. We Say…The weather will be cold and chilly so go layer up for warmth with a thick blazer or jumper and definitely a coat.

The Coat

Without a warm coat you will feel the cold when you spend the whole day outdoors. For the sartorial look go for a long coat and the longer length will keep your lower body warm such as Joe Browns’ March Out Longline Military Coat In brown, it is double breasted, has epaulettes, a houndstooth undercollar and patterned lining, £130.00. Fatface’s Navy Wool Mix Peacoat may be shorter but is made of 65% Recycled wool for warmth. Was £149.00 now £104.00. For a more casual look go for the padded jacket. Padded jackets usually have hoods which is a great advantage if it is raining or windy. Plus they usually have plenty of pockets and come in brighter colours.. &SONS Bonnington Puffer Jacket in a light blue is designed to keep you warm and dry. Crafted with a waterproof outer shell capable of withstanding moderate and consistent rainfall; insulated with 90% duck down and10% duck feather fill.

Or get to a flying start with an aviator style jacket such as Shearling Jacket by Wrangler UK It is made of 95% recycled polyester with shearling detail around the collar, cuffs and hem giving a vintage look. £140.00 Not as warm as the other coats so you will need a chunky jumper underneath, but the polyester will make it showerproof.

Knitwear

Chunky or fine – this will depend on the rest of your outfit. Choosing wool is best for the cold weather, as it is breathable and warm. Fine knitwear is good for smart layering, over a shirt and underneath a suit jacket/fitted blazer. GUESS® Wool pullover sweater is 100% fine yarn wool.
