What to wear for Ladies Day at Ascot

What to wear for Ladies Day at Ascot: The highlight of Royal Ascot is Ladies Day when female race-goers look their very best, showcasing a spectacle of colour, bold print and fascinating headwear. If you're heading to this years Royal Ascot, here's a look at what to wear for Ladies Day

From the earliest years, Ascot attracted the nobility of the time. It is rumoured that the third day of Races acquired the title ‘Ladies Day’ as it drew the largest audience of the female kind, enticed by the elegance and style of the occasion.

Pastel pink: Muted pink and blush hues are very much on trend this season, our own Rosamund lace dress captures a classic vintage-style 1960's look whilst giving a nod to the colour trend.

Following the same trend, Xanthe is a soft, dusky pink number that illustrates those beautiful delicate details we love; a soft, floaty skirt, combined with an intricately sequined, lace embellished top. Gracie made from a soft Georgette fabric, drapes delicatley flattering every figure beautifully. With ruching at the waist and floaty, fluted sleeves, this dress is an effortless and elegant look for that special occasion.

Pastels are perfect for Summer and whether featured in prints or complimented in a delicate fabric, they are the ultimate feminine staple.

Bold florals: Floral never goes out of style, but large Vintage blooms, worn by the likes of Pixie Lott at previous Ascots are always a good choice for making a statement at Ladies Day.

Our bold Ria dress nails this trend. A retro number in pillarbox red, featuring our signature ruby red rose vintage print. The statement red against the softer print is a vintage classic. With delicate scallop trim and a bow detail at the waist adding that 1950’s charm.

The Harper also shows how to make floral prints stand out. In a fabulous green jewel colour, also on trend, this wrap style dress with full skirt is a floral knockout!

Delicate Lace: Never short in the style stakes, the Duchess of Cambridge loves to wear lace at Ladies Day, demonstrating that ivory lace doesn't have to be reserved solely for Weddings.

Audrina in ivory lace is classic, sophisticated and never goes out of style. This ivory, lace number features delicate eyelash detail, a satin tie sash and ¾ sleeves, which create a flirty feminine number for that special Summer event.

If perhaps you want to inject some colour, Nisha marries both colour and charm in this gorgeous mustard shade, the delicate lace pops with the use of colour.

So whatever your style; chic and simple, bold and bright, or soft and delicate. Dressing up can be done with ease, see our full range of Occasion dresses for every shape and budget, designed for that showstopper look.
