We have an unreal collection of race day dresses, so we’re here to help you! Our absolute go-to when it comes to dresses for race day are midi dresses, they’re comfortable, give you that bit of extra coverage when you’re standing up and sitting down all day, plus they look absolutely stunning. Choose a sweetheart cap sleeve dress, a leg split detail, a timeless ruched midi dress or an embellished dress option for your race day dresses. You could choose a more simple midi dress that you can also wear for other occasions, then dress it up for the races. Let’s take a simple square neck midi dress, then add a matching fascinator or hatinator, some gold heels and matching accessories for the ultimate race day outfit. The races are the perfect time to dress up and have fun, so wear whatever feels right and enjoy the day!

When it comes to accessories for your races dresses, the world is your oyster. You can never go too big with accessories at the races, so have fun with it! A hatinator or fascinator is always the perfect addition to any race day dress, plus it can transform a more simple dress in seconds, whether you go for a small detail or a much bigger hat. If you want something a bit more subtle, a statement headband is also a stunning choice. Once your headwear is sorted, go bold with your jewellery, either with statement earrings or a necklace depending on the neckline of your races dress. Moving onto shoes, whilst you want to wear something you feel confident in, you also want to last all day. So, if you’re confident in heels all day, go for it! Otherwise, you could wear wedges or platforms that are more comfortable, sandals or heeled boots are good options for your race day dresses.

Whether you choose mini, midi or maxi dresses for the races is all about what you feel comfortable in. Some races events are dressier than others, in which case you might prefer to wear either a midi or maxi dress, however long sleeve mini dresses are also a great choice for the races. We personally love either a long sleeve mini dress, a cap sleeve midi dress or a strapless maxi dress for the races, plus you can wear them all for your other events throughout the year, from wedding guest dresses to your holiday looks.

If you’re heading to the races in the winter, we’ve got you covered (literally). Start with a base of either a midi or maxi dress, then layer with a calf length coat. Faux fur or coats with faux fur details are stunning for winter races. Another option for your race day dress is a mini dress with knee high boots, then add a wide brimmed fedora for the ultimate country chic look. Staying warmer doesn’t mean you need to compromise on style when it comes to race day dresses!
