Whether you’re trackside at Flemington, at a function in Ipswich or simply popping on a fascinator and crowding around the work telly, Melbourne Cup is the perfect excuse to frock up and express your personality!
Bright Colours
Nobody will forget what you wore in a bright and bold block colour! This racing season, vivid reds and cobalt blues will lead the pack.
Bold Prints
If you’re not one for intense colours, try a bold print – equally as striking and still commands attention. It seems the bigger the print, the better so opt for floral prints with larger blooms or spotted numbers with bigger dots.
Feminine Chic
Think pastel pinks, ruffle detailing and gorgeous lace numbers. Bring a little romance to the races with this chic style of dressing.
Things to Avoid
Black and white outfits – save it for Derby Day! Melbourne Cup has always traditionally involved florals and bright colours.
Uncomfortable heels and clothes that will leave you feeling irritated all day.
Informal dresses (the rule of thumb is, if it can be worn to a nightclub it is best to choose something else).
Last the Day
The �Races’ and associated functions provide a good excuse for a few drinks. So that you last the day and still look fashionable, be careful about your alcohol intake. It can be a bad look!
