“It’s interesting to think about the evolution of Ladies Day style and, we want this to be a day where we can really celebrate the style and individuality of our racegoers year on year.

This year we are looking at the evolution of style at Ladies Day and will welcome the glamour and elegance of the past. Florals are still going to be a hardy perennial at Ladies Day but this year they will be more delicate ditzy affairs. If you’re looking to be bolder - block colours are still a firm favourite on Raceday and the cooler hues of blue and green are having a moment although white, always an elegant option, is a firm favourite this year.”
