The dress code police in the Royal Enclosure are militant — and unswerving. So for those who get the regal invite, here's the drill: if not opting to wear national dress or military attire, you'll need morning dress worn with a waistcoat, shirt and tie no cravats or bowties , black shoes and a black or grey top hat sans embellishments so no adding ribbons, etc.
The latter are more informal, though equally less funereal. And for the first time in its history, members of the Royal Enclosure at Ascot will be permitted to wear navy morning dress, alongside the traditional black and grey styles. Shoes: black lace-ups. Ideally Oxfords, please. For the black and navy morning coat, the waistcoat is a great opportunity to express your personality with a touch of colour to your morning attire, but choose to the soft subtle hues and keep the bright colours and patterns for weddings.
There are many styles to choose from — single breasted or double breasted, with or without lapels, U or V shaped and shawl or peak collars. Single breasted without lapels suit most frames. Due to its minimalist style it can also create the illusion of length for the shorter guy and is more slimming. With the single breasted waistcoat, keep the bottom button undone. This is more of a sartorial rule with many theories on how it came to be a rule. The most popular is that it was accidentally started by the Prince of Wales later Edward VII when he left his undone and everyone followed suit.
We favour the horse riding theory: to prevent the waistcoat from creasing and rising up, the gentleman kept the bottom button open. A crisp white shirt with double cuffs is traditional. However a pale coloured shirt plain or striped is also acceptable but the collar and cuffs should still be white.
A woven silk tie is the most popular choice — leave the cravats and Ascot ties for weddings. You can choose any colour, but do keep to the softer hues. Textures such as brocades add richness to a mono colour. Patterns stripes, dots, paisley can be worn but usually are subtle, using a monochrome palette rather than bold clashing colours. A pair of cufflinks is a must for the double cuff shirt and here is where you can flash your individual style: sophisticated elegance in gold and silver simple designs; decadence with pearls or gemstone; or a fun playful twist with novelty designs.
We love the equestrian themed cufflinks many brands are creating, and think they would be a great addition in what to wear to Royal Ascot for men. Pocket square is optional but should be made of silk or linen and neatly folded in the pocket rather than flamboyantly pushed in. Both black or grey top hats are acceptable for black morning coats, grey top hats partner well with grey morning suits and black top hats with navy morning suits.
Proving it had stamina; the top hat stayed the distance and secured its place in high fashion when Prince Albert started wearing one in Originally made out of fur felt beaver being the most expensive , silk came to gain the lead in the fashionable stakes. Silk is still out there in front but is no longer manufactured, making vintage models a rarity and highly coveted. When wearing a morning coat, the shoes should be black with laces, plain and highly polished although not patent.
Kicking off a summertime full of events is Royal Ascot, the most prestigious of all affairs on the racing calendar. Dating back to , where it was founded by Queen Anne, it takes place over five days at the prestigious Ascot Racecourse, situated around six miles from Windor Castle.
Given its close proximity to Royalty, the annual event has become synonymous with them. Given the prestige of the Royal Ascot, the code of dress is particularly strict, but this is by no means a bad thing.
