What women wear trackside often takes cues from what's been paraded on the catwalks, so this spring expect to see lots of sleeve detailing, plenty of pastels, and perhaps a nod to shades of blue after the Royal family wore it en masse to the Royal Ascot this winter.
A myriad of beautiful hair accessories are enjoying their moment in the sun right now, so if you were ever tempted (gasp!) to ditch the hat or fascinator and work with something more simple, this is the racing season to do it.
