Rewrite the Royal Ascot Dress Code

We are slowly moving closer towards the Fashion and Royalty Event that is The Ascot Races. The event has gained more popularity due to what guests are wearing than the horse racing. Although it is a top UK Fashion Event, Ascot is known for its strict dress code. However over the years fashion and individual style have been breaking all the dressing guidelines, but there is still an ancient 1940s dress code to Ascot. As individuality and personal style is at the height of the fashion world should we still be encouraging guests to dress as if it is a ‘Back In Time’ theme. Yes I agree it should be sophisticated and classy but there are so many definitions and interpretations of dressing in the presence of royalty. My style varies from gothic to girly. I don’t particularly want to be known for dressing one way, its an expression of yourself and you should choose to explore that in the same way you explore all other aspects of your life.

There should definitely be a length of skirt dress code but I believe the UK as a whole should embrace individuality even if it’s not something you choose to embrace yourself. This is not a rant, just my opinion on the matter. In respect I definitely went for an Individual yet classy outfit for the Ascot Inspiration.

I did want to look at bright colours but this dress just caught my eye, I absolutely love it and I hold my hands up to the designer. No this is not a conventional Ascot dress but what is conventional these days. I went for a Monochrome colour scheme with a splash of orange. Ascot usually falls on a nice day so this would be perfect with the flowy skirt and the drop sleeves. It obviously has a 1940’s inspiration with the sleeves but there is a clear modern design aspect to this piece. This may not be everyone’s taste but that’s style for you. I love that it has a beautiful low v-neck and the drop sleeves. I think the centre of a woman’s chest, the collarbones and the tops of the shoulders are probably the classiest and most gorgeous part of a woman’s body. To jazz up this dress up I choose a white clean looking belt, some heels with a touch of colour to break up the monochrome feel and a statement jacket. This jacket adds a smart touch to this look with the bold stripes and the pointed shoulder pads, and to finish this off a plain white cutch bag just brings the whole outfit together.

I didn't really feel a need for a head piece as it would be too much with these statement pieces. I would definitely go for nice dewy skin and a curly up do to show off those collarbones.

Don't ever be afraid to be yourself :)
