WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE RACES (IN WINTER)


At the end of November my husband and I are going to the 60th Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury Racecourse. I'm not sure what to expect but I know there will be horses, eating and drinking and as with these kind of events part of the fun of it is the outfit.

The dress code is smart, hats are encouraged and a warm coat essential. As always I will be opting for comfortable shoes or boots as there may be a fair amount of standing.

I like the idea of a skirt, top and faux fur coat - but at the same time keeping them modern and on trend.  Instead of a hat I was thinking it could be cool to wear an embellished hair band.

My outfits tend to be fairly spontaneous but here are some of my ideas so far:

Boutique skirt £75 / TOPSHOP lace top £42 / Office boots £90 / Alexander Mcqueen £1745

These outfit would be a fairly similar to one you might wear to a smart Winter wedding.
