What do I wear to the races on Gold Cup day?

Question

I have never been to a winter racing meet, only ever during the summer. Usually I get dressed up and enjoy putting on a summer dress, hat etc. I am not too sure though about when I go to this week's Gold Cup as the weather is cold. I have been invited to the whole "hospitality" thing and we will be in the restaurant with a balcony so I won't be venturing outside much - not that I think you can move when the place is packed!!

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

wear a nice red dress with black belt gloves and hat as iam watching it on TV then i will be able to watch out for you goodluck.

Answer 2

All the papers and magazines have been doing supplements for the festival, maybe you could get some ideas from there.

Answer 3

Top hat and tails

Answer 4

A smart suit (Trouser or Skirt) Shorter sleeved blouse, so that if you get too warm you can take off the jacket. Maybe a hat to match the blouse. Comfortable shoes.
