Get Ready For Each Race Day
There are rules that are meant to be broken, but then there’s rules you need to obey by.
For decades, the fashions on the field dictate what you wear & on what race day.
The particular dress codes for spring racing season have been a part of
Australian culture and steeped with tradition for well over 100 years, so we definitely recommend
you stick to them! Read on for specific race day themes and some style no no's!
Derby Day: Monochrome Matters
The first official race that begins the season with a strict classic black & white attire.
You must be head to toe in one or the other. You may even try mixing both? But do not,
I repeat, DO NOT wear colour of any kind!
Melbourne Cup: The Race That Stops The Nation
Here’s where you can take it up a notch! Go bright, bold, and extravagant for the race
that stops the nation. Colours are a must - and the brighter the better! Avoid clothing
with tears & cut outs and keep thongs, sneakers & other types of casual shoes at home!
Oaks Day: Pretty In Pink
Time to bring out your feminine side on this Ladies Day. Think beautiful pastels, florals, prints, laces and dainty
headpieces. Get on the Barbie core trend that’s taken over the world and be pretty in pink and oh-so chic!
Oaks Day: Pretty In Pink
Keep it relaxed and fun on the last day of the spring racing carnival. Keep you look
simple but still elegant, with a more relaxed fitting. Envision floaty summer sun dresses
and minimal headpieces. Comfort is key for those sore feet, so we suggest a block heel.
