A WORLD LIKE
NOWHERE ELSE
Royal Ascot is synonymous with sartorial elegance.
This is upheld by our dress code, which invites guests to
contribute to
an occasion heralded as a major fashion event in its own
right.
We are delighted to bring you our new looks for 2017, put
together to
guide and inspire you with what to wear at Royal Ascot in
June.
As part of this year's Style Guide, Royal Ascot officially
welcomes the jumpsuit
as an acceptable item of clothing for the Royal Enclosure.
Harking back to the
introduction of the trouser suit in 1971, Ascot continues to
recognise key
trends in occasionwear for its fashionable customers.
Our dress code is traditional, woven into the very fabric of
our
history. It was Beau Brummell, perhaps Britain’s first
fashion icon, who at the
turn of the 19th century dictated the dress for men in the
Royal Enclosure.
His sense of style is still reflected in Royal Ascot
fashions today.

information about Royal Ascot, our dress code and the stories
past and present that make the Royal Meeting a world like
nowhere else
