What to wear to a day at the races?

[hoolagirl]

red and white dress

Do you think this would be suitable, i've never been before, its ladys day and I want to look fab!

which racecourse?
which enclosure?

this would look great with the dress

Ladies Day where? This makes a difference.

Also get a decent raincoat.

Thanks, computer going really slow this morning.
Its at Ayr racecourse, don't know about enclosures?

aha, if Ayr you should be ok - some places have rules re skirt length, shoulder coverage etc.

fascinator is a good idea, hat less good in rain

remember to wear wedges not spike heels so you don't sink into the grass

Btw should have said, that fascinator comes in red.

have just found this too

I like the hat, hope its not too windy!
Thanks for tip on shoes, was just looking at spikey heels!
So dress ok then?

Dress is great

yes, but do take something to put over it (wrap, pashmina, fitted red or white mac)

and I would get one of those clear umberellas just in case it pees down.

Mac sounds good, will probably be freezing seeing as its Ayr!

what about this mac or this one

second one looks better - more fitted

I was at ladies day at ascot, and I don't recall seeing anybody in a mac. Mostly wore short summery dresses and pashminas. Lots wore spikey heels too, was hilarious watching them walking in them. I'd take an umberella rahter than a mac.

(btw, i was there watching with the kids, not in the enclosures!)

yeah, but I bet some of them wish they'd had macs...

oh yeah, they looked bloody freezing. We had macs, and wellies.

Just not sure if it is the done thing...

(NB we are suggesting pretty fitted macs suitable for eg wearing to a wedding, not Millet's finest, you know )

I do have some nice pink wellies
