The Best Ascot Dresses To Shop This Racing Season

Royal Ascot is right around the corner, meaning we can expect an influx of finery, millinery and a very strong summer dress offering. If you’re lucky enough to be in attendance (well done, you), then you might also be looking for some outfit inspiration for the big racing occasion. Here, we round up a handful of our top picks to see you through the occasion in style.

Before we jump into the edit, though, it’s worth noting that Royal Ascot also has a few dress code requirements, which differ depending on which enclosure you’ll be watching from (make sure you read their full here). Generally speaking though, longer, below-the-knee hemlines are the order of the day for women, along with a hat, headpiece or fascinator. As for things to avoid, they recommend steering clear of slim spaghetti and halterneck straps, off-the-shoulder numbers, along with sheer fabrics and any daring cut-outs.

So, with the admin out of the way, here’s our edit of favourite pieces that you can wear.
