And there they go… that is, to the fashion races. That's correct ladies and gents, it is that season again for the autumn racing festival. From the Golden Slipper to the Australian Derby Day, it’s yet another moment of getting all gussied up and dressed up. For those who has ever religiously attended one of the heart stopping races, the events have been increasingly more about trackside trends than the contest on the race course. To allow you to look even more beautiful than before and win the stylish races, below are four hot ideas you can try for your autumn racing fashion.  

Hot tip number 1 - Personalize it.

Nothing will appear to be more sophisticated and refined than a nicely designed suit. Go for diverse shapes which boost your figure and cover up things which you consider to be imperfections. You’ll find outfits which seem to have come right out of the ‘50s or ‘60s. You’ll also find carefully structured pieces in different colors of grey and cream. Typically, the Race Day calls for black-and-white frocks and the Ladies Day dictates softer shapes and wonderful patterns. You can actually stay ahead of others by adding some features to your outfit. 

Hot tip number 2 - Stand out with colour!

Wearing a black-and-white ‘60s influenced structured suit to Derby Day? Deal with the extreme fashion style with a colorful clutch or d’Orsay shoes in canary yellow. The idea is to soften the colour of your wardrobe with an appealing item that gets people's attention. Furthermore, the unexpected burst of colour will keep your full outfit brilliant. And what are the races for if not for fun? You can as well give colour through jewellery like an emerald ring or a colorful bracelet. Whatever race you’re going to for the Autumn Racing Carnival 2013, try and keep your style intricate yet still a lot of fun.

Style idea number 3 - Think rich, textured fabrics

Think leather pencil skirts. Use rich bomber jackets. Wear Baroque-inspired prints. During these events, you'll find a lot of richness and boldness where fabrics and prints are concerned. However don with extreme care and try not to overdo it.

Hot tip number 4 - Make sure to complete your attire.

It is regarded as a race-day no-no - trotting off to the event without having the complete appeal. From your headwear to your accessories, never leave house without your race day essentials. Look through the new styles or designs in millinery, from felt equestrian fedoras to classic fedoras, from floppy headwear to dainty fascinators. As for your purse, do not carry anything too big that it gets in the way when you mingle. Just bring a purse or a clutch that will hold enough of your necessary items: cell phone, lip gloss, dusting powder, as well as, of course, your race book.
