For the Queen’s Stand, a hat or substantial fascinator is compulsory and most ladies enjoy the opportunity to wear a properly eye-catching creation. Although a hat is not compulsory for the Grandstand enclosure (which includes the Duchess Stand) you are officially required to dress up for the event and a hat will top off your outfit nicely!

Milliner brand Ostentatia’s vintage style percher will complement both outfits with its simple but striking style. In lilac pink. Available through Etsy for £80.
