The Hottest Racing Season Trends For Guys And Gals This Year

Spring racing season is among us in all of it’s glory. The countdown to Melbourne Cup is on and for those of you lucky enough to be apart of the festivities, I’m sure you’re aware of the importance of your race day outfit. Arguably, the racing fashion is equally as important as the races themselves. Huge fashion publications like Vogue, publish the best street style across Sydney and Melbourne spring races. If you want your ‘fit to make the cut, here are the trends you need to be across this year.

Pantsuits are absolutely hottest trend in racing fashion this season. They have always been stylish but this year they have made a strong resurgence. Opt for a low cut blazer without a shirt underneath and flare-style trousers.

#2 Headbands

Blair Waldorf would be freaking out right now, because a simple headband is the headpiece of choice this season. This is such a stylish way to add a pop of colour without being too OTT.

#3 Pink

Everyone who’s anyone is wearing 50 shades of pink this season. If you decide to wear the colour of the year, commit to it entirely, with pink accessories and shoes to match.

Blazer-style dresses or blouses are super on trend this season. It’s like professionalism but make it fun.

The look once reserved for sleazy old men is now making a fashionable comeback. Undo a few of your shirt buttons for a relaxed and effortlessly cool look.

This rule is only allowed to be broken on race days. Pair a striped suit with a coloured, spotty tie for a super high-fashion look. Rules are meant to be broken, kids.

#3 Light Coloured Blazers

Nothing says classy like a light coloured blazer. Opt for a super light grey, blue or cream to steal the show. Make sure to get your blazer fitted properly though, to fully pull off the look.

#4 Floral Prints

Wear a power print under your light coloured blazer for maximum impact. Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking.
