Whether you’re heading to Ascot, Epsom or a more local race day, dressing for the races is your chance to pull out all the stops. Think bold fashion, standout accessories, and a confident spring in your step! We’ve pulled together a complete style guide to make sure you feel race-day ready — all from your favourite stores right here at The Glades.
HOBBS:
Look the part in timeless elegance with Hobbs’ occasionwear dresses. Think sophisticated florals, structured silhouettes, and lightweight fabrics – perfect for garden enclosures or VIP stands.
WHISTLES:
For a contemporary twist on race day dressing, Whistles has the edge. Look for midi dresses in bold block colours or geometric prints – ideal for making a sleek, modern statement.
ZARA & RIVER ISLAND:
Add some trend-driven flair with Zara and River Island’s high-street take on occasion dressing. From sleek tailoring and asymmetric necklines to bold prints these stores have everything you need to stand out in the crowd — without breaking the bank.
KURT GEIGER:
Turn heads with Kurt Geiger’s statement heels — think crystal embellishments, metallic finishes or bright pops of colour that’ll elevate any outfit. (Bonus points if they match your bag!)
DUNE:
Dune is your go-to for sleek strappy sandals and block heels — perfect for balancing glamour with comfort. Opt for a nude or metallic pair to get the most wear beyond race day.
Pro tip: Kitten heels, wedges and sandals are chic, stable, and lawn-friendly!
ACCESSORIZE:
The races are the perfect excuse to go big with your accessories — and Accessorize never disappoints. Think bold fascinators, and clutch bags in textures like satin or beaded embellishments.
