Winter Cool Tips
The cooler weather is well and truly upon us but that’s no excuse to dress down for a day at the races
Whether it’s the buzzing corporate atmosphere of the mid-winter Balaklava Cup or the start of spring at the state’s most remote race meeting in Roxby Downs, local fashion guru Liza Emanuele says there’s an outfit for every occasion and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune.
Learn to layer
“Women are looking for value for money options that take their summer and spring wardrobes through autumn and winter,” Liza says.
“Layering is key this season – you can still wear your party dress to the races but layer it with stockings, scarves and jackets.”
Don’t diss the dress
Jackets and coats are the most important part of the season – and they’re a must for the races. They also can take a spring/summer dress into winter.
“A real trophy jacket that looks perfect with a pair of jeans but can be worn during the week with black pants or out to the races with a fun dress is a must – jackets like these transcend the seasons and make summer and spring dresses functional again,” Liza says.
“A spring/summer inspired dress teamed with thick opaque stockings and boots or high platforms create the perfect look for a day at the races.”
Keep headwear simple
“Don’t waste too much money on a hat you wear once,” Liza says.
“Buy something you can wear everyday and add it to your racewear outfit – you can’t go wrong.”
