High contrast

Black and white is always in fashion, as well as an absolute must on Derby Day, where this combination rules. Polka-dot prints and geometric shapes and stripes are perfect for the traditional monochromatic palette of this day. We love the punch this outfit gives with its bold blacks and whites, while still emitting femininity and class if you read between the lines. This outfit will definitely meet the dress code of any day at the races and, priced at just over $100,  we think it has a pretty graphic impact.

Petal power

This outfit is most certainly flourishing and flattering. Floral patterns have been a long-time favourite at the races, particularly on Crown Oaks Day where women wear their most feminine and floaty outfits. This dress definitely puts us in a garden state of mind with its beautiful deep red flowers in contrast with striking whites and blacks. At $69 we definitely recommend planting this outfit in your closet as soon as possible.

Take it to the max

A maxi dress is a summer go-to when aiming to look effortlessly chic. The appeal of the maxi dress is that it provides its wearer with more coverage than most dresses, an added level of comfort that can’t be overlooked after a long day at the races. A maxi would be the perfect level of relaxed etiquette for Emirates Stakes Day, where ladies often wear floaty fabrics with broad-brimmed hats. This maxi, certainly a cheaper option when purchased alone, is not only a bargain at less than $40, but also an outfit that can be worn again!
