We discuss the different colour options that will make you look and feel smart at Royal Ascot races. The Ascot dress is seen against the bright green turf of the Ascot racing course and white tents, during the summer days.
Navy and Royal Blue
Navy dresses always look smart – not only do they look great in photographs, but they also look very authoritative on the race course. Of course, it will depend on the hat that you wear with the navy dress, but a pale gold or ivory fascinator would look great.
Blush and Soft Rose
Soft blush tones look great in the natural daylight and will look fantastic outside. A pale rose outfit, with nude heels and a white or cream hat, is a stylish option and won’t require too much effort to look great.
Ivory and Champagne
However, the risk of ivory is that it makes the wearer look as though they are going to a wedding. So, pair ivory with a strong-coloured hat in a hat, such as navy, coral or cerise, and then carry a non-white clutch.

Sage and Muted Greens
Sage can look good in photos but is very liable to get lost against the backdrop of the racecourse. Cool or greyish sages are ok as long as they are not too similar to the green of the turf and are paired with a warm tone hat in camel or blush.
Cobalt, Coral, and Other Brights
The lone bold colour, worn as a solid, unbroken line from hem to shoulder, will always look smart. This colour should not be worn in busy prints, or in combination with other brights for the risk of looking too much going on. The accessories should be simple and in white, cream, or nude to allow the colour to stand out clearly.
Stick to the one colour direction of the outfit and let the other accessories be support items.
