Horse racing is a massive part of the British culture with gambling, champagne, picnics and more. Fashion plays a large part in these events, everyone wants to look their best and all put a lot of effort into their look on the day. With the racing season upon us I thought it would be good to find out what the races fashion trends are for 2011!...
Romantic trend, long maxi dresses. Generally quite florally, really beautiful, some are quite sheer. Just something very floaty and delicate.
Colour trend, big colours are sort of yellows, primrose yellows, burnt oranges, brighter oranges and also the mixture of, quite luminous colours.
With much more neutral colours and also browns, sort of dark browns, very kind of liquorice allsorts palette.
Heels for the races, a wedge is always good, and also for Spring and Summer, platforms are massive and a sort of 70′s vibe as well, a thick platform, with big chunky heels. These also mean you wouldn't get stuck in the grass.
You don't want this to happen!...
If you’re doing a big hat, I would go for very minimal jewellery.
If you’re doing a small flower behind the ear, then I would go for a larger earring, a dangled earing or something like that. Marc Jacobs did this...
