What to Wear: Riccarton Races

Angela Stone • November 13, 2014

The prestigious Riccarton Races are back for another year, hundreds of fashionistas and punters are going to be taking the racecourse by storm. The fashion stakes are going to be higher than ever tomorrow so it is important that you have your ensemble organised and ready to go.

I have compiled a list of last minute tips and trends for those of you who are in need of some extra advice.

Menswear

Modern combovers are going to be one of the hottest hair styles seen at this year’s races. Clean, simple and sharp, it is one style that suits all.

Navy suits are quite popular amongst male punters, team your suit with a pair of tan leather shoes and you will have a faultless ensemble. When searching for an outfit try Sergio’s Menswear , they have a versatile range of designer suits ready for you to wear.

Feminine Fashions

Dresses in shades of white and blue will be trending at Riccarton this Saturday. If you are not one to wear dresses, try a jumpsuit. This style is quite flattering and will give your overall ensemble an edge. I recommend a visit to Park Avenue Fashions , they offer an amazing service and have a collection of stunning garments. When it comes to choosing a fascinator, no matter whether your headpiece is bold or simple, as long as it compliments your outfit anything goes. Crisp white wedges are another hot trend to follow.

Accessories

As always understated pieces are the key to accentuate a bold outfit. If your dress has a complex design it is important to choose neutral accessories, vice versa, if you have a simple outfit choose eye catching jewellery designs.

Preparation

If you are getting a spray tan, make sure you exfoliate the day before as this will keep your tan looking natural and streak free. Don’t forget about your nails, you wouldn’t want tacky or un-manicured nails to ruin your outfit. You can never go wrong with the classic french manicure.

The biggest tip I can give you is to make sure you have a fun and fashionable day. I look forward to seeing the range of amazing outfits on display!

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here .
