Step into Style with the Latest Trends
Pastel perfection
Pastels are making a strong comeback in 2025, with lemon being a standout and popular colour. These soft, muted tones bring a fresh and airy feel to race day attire, perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Whether it's a pastel dress, hat, or accessory, these colours add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Floaty and Fabulous
Floaty dresses are a staple for Ladies Day, offering comfort and elegance. These dresses, often made from lightweight materials, are perfect for the warmer weather. However, don’t forget the unpredictability of the British weather! A shawl or scarf that compliments your outfit is the perfect accessory for those colder conditions.
Timeless trends
Vintage fashion never goes out of style, and incorporating classic patterns like polka dots and stripes can add a nostalgic charm to race day outfits. These patterns evoke a sense of timeless elegance and are perfect for those looking to make a statement at the races. Selecting a midi or maxi length is another excellent way to embrace this style while also ensuring comfort in potential windy conditions.
Sustainable elegance
Instead of rushing to the shops for every event, try rummaging through your wardrobe for forgotten gems that can be styled into new ensembles. Some new accessories or a fascinator will instantly elevate your look. You can even get creative with a glue gun to transform plain items into statement pieces using low-cost accessories from craft shops.
If there’s nothing in your wardrobe, you can explore charity shops for high-end pre-loved items, adding joy to your shopping experience by supporting a good cause. Why not make the most out of a pre-loved item, while knowing your money is going to help others. And if all else fails, consider renting designer outfits from online hire companies, giving you access to luxury fashion on a budget.
Finishing touches
No race day outfit is complete without the right accessories. From statement hats and fascinators to elegant jewellery and handbags, accessories play a crucial role in tying the whole look together.
On Ladies Day, many guests do choose to wear a hat or fascinator. It’s not obligatory at all, but can add instant wow factor! If a hat or fascinator isn’t for you, headbands are becoming a popular alternative. They offer a versatile way to make your outfit stand out but hold a more subtle look.
For plainer and more neutral outfits, consider using accessories to add a pop of colour to your look. Whether it's a bold necklace, a delicate bracelet, or a stylish clutch, the right accessories can elevate your race day outfit.
Style Awards
The Style Awards at Worcester Racecourse's Ladies Day 2025, scheduled for Saturday, 7th June, are a highlight of the event, celebrating the most fashionable attendees. Participants can enter by having their photo taken at the designated flower wall upon arrival, and roaming judges will also be on the lookout for standout outfits throughout the day. The competition offers exciting prizes, including a significant cash award for the best-dressed individual. This event encourages guests to showcase their unique style, making it a must-attend for fashion enthusiasts.
