The Style Awards on  Ladies Day 

Ladies day is all about the Style Awards and is a great opportunity for you to show off your unique fashion statement for a chance to win prizes. So we say.. Go to town with your outfit! The Style Awards judges are looking for stylish people who have made an incredible effort with their head-to-toe look for their day at the races. They are looking for style, creativity and originality as well as attention to detail and appreciation of current fashion trends. Headpieces such as fascinators and hats always catch the eye of the judges. This year, they are switching things up! The Style Awards will now feature just one open category, giving everyone the chance to shine. Their judges will be selecting a standout 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, so no matter your style, bring your best look and be in the running for some incredible prizes including vouchers from Debenhams!

Italian fashion designer Nico Didonna’s NOOREBAH is a standout piece with its brocade & sequins, multi layered bodice and irregular hem. £860.00. Although hats and fascinators are not essential, they will complete your outfit for the Style Awards. We think this dress would look stunning styled with a wide brim hat such as Katherine Elizabeth Millinery’s Kylo Sculptural Hat – a large sculptural bird cage brim hat in black with a bamboo silk covered button crown. £1550.00.

Coral-Eclipse Day

We say: The Eclipse Festival is a lovely occasion in a rather beautiful racecourse. Most ladies dress as though they are attending a summer wedding and wear a fine hat or headpiece. Being close to London it’s a safe bet that the latest trends will be on show.

Unlike a summer wedding guest, there is no etiquette rule on not wearing white or cream. Go for off white ecru with Sandro’s Short guipure dress in floral guipure lace, was £409.00 now £286.30 or if you prefer a longer length their Floral cotton guipure maxi dress in creamy vanilla. Was £519.00 now £415.20 To give your outfit that individual look, team with a ready-to-wear headpiece from an independent milliner such as London based Katherine Elizabeth Millinery. Don’t fight with the lace, keep it simple and elegant with her Franella , a boater-style hat crafted from natural straw, featuring a structured sinamay brim and a woven crown in soft cream with subtle gold threading. Finished with a clean white ribbon at the base for a subtle contrast. £590.00. July is the season for sandals, but we are not talking about beach sandals, remember you are dressing as though you are going to a smart summer wedding. Go for gold with Sandro’s Sandals with straps   In gold leather with a kitten heel, much needed for a whole day at the races. Were £269.00 now £188.30 Team with their Tangolino bag This vanity style bag in ecru grained leather is compact but roomy enough for racing essentials. Features a zip fastening, a handle for hand and shoulder carrying, and a strap for crossbody carrying. Was £329.00 now £230.30. Finish off with their Thin-armed sunglasses in caramel brown £219.00 and a pair of Pinar Ozevlat’s Sun Flower Drop Earrings A lightweight statement pair of fine crochet work using pearl cotton thread through crystal beads to create a sunflower design. £170.00
