The Ascot Edit

Wednesday, June 10 2015

Dressing for Royal Ascot takes some careful planning.  With a strict unwavering dress code that has been established for centuries, it is easy to get it wrong.  Dresses must be knee length, straps must be greater than 1 inch, and hat requirements vary according to your admission pass – phew, there's a lot to think about!  Whether you're a guest in the Royal Enclosure, Grandstand or Silver Ring, let us help you to get race-day-ready with our Alie Street Ascot Edit.

With a modest v neckline, below the knee skirt and ¾ length sleeves, look adorable in lace with the Anya. The subtle sheen of the dusky pink tone lace gives a luxurious feel to this pretty style. Team with a matching blush pink hat (such as this Veiled Wing Bowed Beret by Mich Dulce) for instant race-day glamour.

Crafted out of a rich midnight blue in corded lace, the Katherine shift dress is a classic Ascot look for the Royal enclosure. Match with nude accessories and a fitting midnight blue headpiece (such as the Double Rose Tilt Hat by William Chambers).

With red, white and blue undertones our Azalia Midi Dress is befitting for any Royal occasion! A flirty and bold take on the floral trend, the Azalia is crafted out of a beautiful Oriental Bloom fabric dusted with a gentle sprinkling of sequins for subtle daytime sparkle. Team with a slick of scarlet lipstick and a suitably rouge hat (such as this Red felt parcel pillbox number by Rachel Trevor Morgan) for a glamorous race-ready look.
