Horse racing events are a great opportunity to get dressed to the nines and have some fun with friends. Ladies Practicality is something that many women bear in mind when it comes to the Cheltenham Races. Taking place in March, the weather is unpredictable so be prepared for all conditions.
Consider wearing classic country colours such as brown hues and neutral shades to blend in with the country theme. Opt for smart below-the-knee boots rather than high heels, the terrain is often damp, and two-thirds of the car parks are on grass. Tailored tweed is always on-trend at this event, add something extra with fur collar trims and a feather brooch. Many women choose to wear a hat, not only as an accessory but to protect from the cold too.
A trilby hat with an added feather is one way to embrace the style of the event. Men Cheltenham Races is thought to be a celebration of British clothing, and a lot of people go all out for the occasion. Choose British classics such as corduroy, tweed and lambswool when deciding on your outfit. A covert coat is a popular choice for men who attend the races, an overcoat traditionally worn for hunting or horse riding. Fancy dress is not permitted for the Grand National, instead opt for formalwear or semi-formalwear.
Men Although there is no official dress code for the Grand National, keep it smart and stylish if you can. Sports clothing is not permitted so avoid tracksuit bottoms and trainers. Instead choose smart shoes such as brogues or Oxford shoes. Take the opportunity to get suited and booted, or at least wear a suit and tie. In the Hospitality Facilities and Club Stand, smart dress is encouraged, but in the Grandstand, there is no formal dress code.
No matter how stylish and gorgeous your raceday cocktail dress looks, when the weather is cold and chilly it will be your coat attracting all the attention. Although hats are not required, many women prefer to wear one to complete their racing day outfit and to help keep warm! This four day festival is an opportunity to add a splash of colour to the dull grey skies starting with the Champion Hurdle on Day 1. Again there is no official dress code, but you are encouraged to dress smart and warm for the weather.
March can still be a chilly month so what to wear at Cheltenham and especially on Ladies Day is a dilemma. Your gorgeous dress may not see the light of day, so all eyes will be on your outerwear.
The weather during The Cheltenham Festival is hard to predict so layering and choosing an outfit that can be slightly changed on the day is a safer bet for your fashion attire. Instead of a dress. Then have a blouse and jumper ready to add under the jacket, and an overcoat, warm shrug or poncho to layer over it, so you can decide on the day depending on the weather.
Odds are the weather will be cold so keep warm and stylish in the favourite fabric of any winter racing event: TWEED. Other fabric favourites are tartan, houndstooth and block colour wool, along with leather, suede and faux fur. Accessories are key in dressing up an outfit; they add a touch of individuality and will pull the whole outfit together. The Cheltenham hat has to have substance otherwise the elements can turn your crowning glory into a racing flop.
Rather than wafty feathers and bloom, go for bold colours and maybe a touch of sparkle to stand out from the crowd, Colourful berets, felt fedoras and faux furs will keep your head warm plus add a flamboyant glamour to your tweed suit.
This is where you should splash out on colour but choose wisely. Luckily scarves come in an array of hues so it should be easy to find a shade to suit your colouring. Your handbag has to be of course stylish but also practical; after all it has to carry all your racing essentials. The best styles are those which will free your hands to hold that glass of champagne and to wave your horse past the finishing line. Shoulder bags are ideal and can be worn on the shoulder or across the body if you really mean business.
A large size bag is very handy to carry gloves, scarves and even sunglasses if the sun does decide to shine. The bag is another way you can add a flash of colour to an outfit.
Best foot forward is the boot. Boots are a good option as heels on boots can be lower and chunkier without losing points on style. Chunkier heels will be more comfortable and easier to walk over any grass. Boots will also keep your feet and legs warm on a chilly racing day plus you could even sneak on a pair of socks and no one will know. Ankle boots are perfect for both cold and milder days. Just add thicker tights and a pair of socks if the weather is cold. Also it gives you an opportunity to wear block coloured or patterned tights to brighten up your outfit.
Leather gloves are always stylish and the mid length style especially. It allows you to wear those chic three-quarter length sleeves or a cape coat and still keep your arms warm. With wrist length gloves your bracelets seem to disappear underneath, this longer length also allows you to show off your bangles and bracelets to perfection by wearing them over the top.
Whilst keeping snug under your coat and scarf, a necklace will not be on show. So make a statement with a pair of earrings, a brooch or a scarf ring. More info. Cheltenham Festival is a lavish four-day extravaganza which sees some of the best jockeys compete for a share of the whopping prize money.
Ladies are advised to wear something smart for the festival, but be aware many of the outdoor areas are grass so some high heels could prove a problem. So if you decide it might be too windy to don your best fascinator, feel free to leave it at home. But be warned, you should not wear jeans or sporting gear and organisers can remove people or refuse entry if they are not dress appropriately.
