ROYAL ASCOT STYLE

I have been attending Royal ascot for over 20 years 15 of those have been as a Royal Enclosure member. The Dresswear has a strict policy and this year the guidelines were strictly adhered to and many people were turned away. I as a Stylist am totally in favour of this and a message to all Stylistas is if attending Ascot whether it be Silver ring or Grandstand dress by these formal guidelines too it will ensure you look classy and elegant.

STYLE LIST

LADIES

Jojo showing you how to work it !

• Dresses and skirts modest length knee or below
• Dress straps one inch or greater
• Hats must be worn/headpieces must have a base of 4 inches or more
• no midriffs
• formal and elegant

Gentleman

• Waistcoat and tie (no cravats please)

True Gentleman of Ascot

• Black or grey Top hat
• Black polished shoes
• No removal of hat unless inside a building

Of course Ascot focus is on the many beautiful hats on show and it is wonderful we still have occasion to dress formally in the presence of The Queen and normal people from every walk of life still ensure standards are met. Here are a small selection of Hats spotted throughout the week from the kooky to the elegant.

Beautiful hats
