What To Wear To The Races

May 25, 2017 By editor

Have you got your outfit ready for the social highlight of the year, the Parkes Picnic Races on 10th June?

Dressing for the races in winter is challenging as you want to look your stylish best, but also need to keep warm. Here are some suggestions:

Materials and Fabrics: A wool blend/ tweed has a warm, wintery feel. Leather trims can look great or be brave and wear a whole leather garment, like a pencil skirt. Faux fur trims bring a cosy, yet stylish, touch to an outfit.

Shapes and Silhouettes: Be flexible with sleeve lengths because you can al- ways cover up with a jacket or shawl. Play around with different shapes of sleeves.

Winter Colours: Rich jewel tones are favourites in winter, such as navy, maroon, deep purple, copper, emerald green, mus- tard, oranges, tan and the classic black, white and grey. Metallic accessories are fun to play around with too.

Capes and Jackets: A fun addition to an outfit is to wear a cape over the top. Capes come in many different colours and pat- terns and look very on trend.

Gloves: People love to wear gloves in winter. They can be made of leather, suede or wool and come in a variety of different col- ours and lengths ranging from half palm to full length. This can add in an extra colour.

Millinery: Millinery of the season is often made of felt, wool, leather and silks and is adorned with trims such as feathers, leath- er flowers, lace and veiling. Metal crowns

and headpieces are trending too.

Accessories: Metallic accessories are popular and can be a great way to vamp up a dull dress. Think gold, silver, bronze and chrome, as well as stones and jewels.

Shoes: Put away your strappy summer heels and snuggle into enclosed shoes.
