The key point to remember is that each enclosure has its own dress code. As mentioned above, The Royal Enclosure bans strapless tops and requires hats with a base of 10cm or more. The Village Enclosure is very relaxed and would not look out of place in a high street shop. Make sure you know what enclosure your ticket is for before you start shopping for your outfit.
Wearing Fabric That Won’t Last the Day
Linen and unlined chiffon dresses will crease in the heat and look tired by the second race. Structured fabrics such as silk dupion, ponte or lined crepe are much better for Royal Ascot.
Choosing Heels for the Wrong Ground
Stiletto heels can easily sink into soft grass, so for the sake of your feet and your outfits, opt for block heels or wedges instead. These types of heels offer the same amount of height, with the added benefit of a wider base, which will keep you stable on the uneven ground.
Over-Matching Every Accessory
If you are matching your hat, bag, shoes and dress then try to choose one or two colours that are to be worn and then choose items that provide contrast or are neutral.
Underestimating the Wind
The wide brimmed hat can look wonderful in the shop but disastrous outside on a windy day. Look for a wide brimmed hat with a wide band around the crown which can be secured to the back of the head with a well fitted band or even a subtle anchor pin to the head.
