Style & Fashion
The races have long been known for the stunning fashions sported on the day.
What better excuse to get dolled up in your most gorgeous outfit and parade around the races.
Traditionally fans and fascinators, gloves and parasols were appropriate attire to accompany the glamorous dresses worn on the day. Of course never too revealing but always feminine with frocks trimmed in flowers and frills.
Even so, the infamous Jean Shrimpton challenged people's idea of races fashion when in 1965 she attended wearing a shift dress revealing her knees and to the shock of the public she wore neither gloves nor stockings.
Since then we have seen fashion at the races change dramatically over the years but always maintain a sense of classic glamour.
