Royal Ascot Fashion 2017: At Royal Ascot the horses are not the only ones on show, they have some heavy competition from the racegoers’ fabulous outfits.

But be warned – whether you go in the Royal Enclosure or the Queen Anne Enclosure – there are dress codes that cannot be broken.

The Royal Enclosure

Dresses and skirt should fall just above the knee or longer. Strapless, off the shoulder, halter neck and spaghetti straps are not permitted (even if worn under a jacket) – straps have to be one inch wide or greater. Midriffs must be covered.

Coast’s Flamenco shift dress with its fashionable cold shoulder straps proves you can be on trend whilst abiding by the Royal Enclosure’s strict dress code.

Note: Trousers suits can be worn but the trousers must be full length and match the material, pattern and colour of the jacket.

For headwear the rule is: hats or a substantial fascinator (with a base more than 10cm in diameter) must be worn at all times. Fascinators are not permitted if they have a base less than 10cm.

Wow the crowds with William Chamber’s Origami Coolie hat from his Scotia Japonica SS17 collection.

Queen Anne Enclosure

Dresses and skirt lengths can be above the knee but shorts are not permitted so no fashionable playsuits allowed. Strapless or sheer straps are not permitted and that does mean the on trend Bardot neckline is a definite No NO. Again, midriffs must be covered.

Fascinators won’t keep the sun out of your eyes so don’t forget a cool pair of sunglasses. Folli Follie’s semi transparent pink and blue frames offer a light and fun style whilst protecting the eyes. Price £100.
