What to Wear to Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival 2016

One of the most prestigious and stylish racing events is the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival, which features both the Longines Golden Slipper Carnival, and The Championships at the Royal Randwick horse racing venue. The events are spread over six weeks and showcase Australia’s finest thoroughbred horse racing as well as some of the best fashion in the world.

Because all eyes are not just on the races but also on the fashion, it’s important to know the rules. Find the perfect Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival outfit by adhering to the dress codes set by the organisers – ladies and gents are required to be neatly dressed and groomed, with shoes and a shirt to be worn at all times.

When planning your day, it’s important to note the types of attire that will not be deemed acceptable at the event. These include tattered clothing and shoes, thongs or barefoot, offensive prints such as those showing inappropriate language or imagery, and clothing that exposes the midriff.

Women’s Style Tips

Off Shoulder Dress

Although you’ll be watching your hemline on the day, a little skin can look sexy, and one of the most elegant ways to achieve this is by wearing an off-the-shoulder dress. The style highlights the part of a woman’s body that is typically the smallest and therefore most flattering and is undoubtedly the classiest way to show off the skin. The style also works wonders for women with small or big busts. If you do have a small bust, then ensure you wear the right strapless bra and choose a style that has a frill – this is a subtle way to create an illusion of a fuller bust.
