ROYAL ASCOT is back for Ladies' Day and as the sun shines over the infamous Berkshire racecourse, the attendees have pulled out all the stops. As thousands of women descend on the iconic racing track today, over-the-top head pieces are making a bold statement. This Ladies' Day, attendees were opting for show-stopping headpieces in vibrant colours.
Each Royal Ascot enclosure has a different Dress Code. Windsor Enclosure Whilst there is no official dress code for the Windsor Enclosure, guests are encouraged to dress in smart daywear. A hat, headpiece or fascinator is encouraged along with a jacket and collared shirt.
Village Enclosure As long as the dress or top isn’t strapless, off the shoulder or Bardot, it will be permitted. No sheer straps or sleeves, or anything of sheer nude or very-see through fabric is allowed. Lace and coloured tulle, voile and organza materials will be permitted.
No items relating to stag and hen parties are allowed for Royal Ascot as this would be considered novelty clothing. Culottes can be chosen but the length and straplines should confirm to the rules of a dress or skirt. There is no maximum length required in this enclosure.
You wear a standard necktie, bow tie or cravat in the Village Enclosure. Queen Anne Enclosure All the dress code requirements of the village enclosure plus a fascinator or decorative headpiece or hat. Royal Enclosure A hat or headpiece with a solid base of four inches in diameter is mandatory in the Royal Enclosure.
Fascin.
