Luxurious wintery fabrics, layered ensembles in jewel tones and rich hues, smoky eyes and crimson lipsā¦. I love the cooler seasons for racing fashion!
As we are well into the chilly seasons, I have taken some time to identify five popular trends seen at the track this autumn and winter.
Enjoy!
1) The Colour Mustard
The hot colour of this season looks like yellow/mustard. Whether it be a dress, pants, skirt or used as the finishing touches with accessories and millinery, mustard has been a stand out colour choice for many race enthusiasts.
2) Jacquard / Lux Fabrics
My favourite thing about winter wear are the gorgeous fabrics. Jacquard fabrics are beautiful, as the print is woven into the fabric, sometimes creating a 3D effect. I love how many of the jacquard fabrics have metallic through them, giving them a deeper, more luxurious feel and they look stunning on stage. I also love funky plaid fabrics too!
3) Tulle
Even though it is winter, tulle is still a trending feature seen at many race days. Styled correctly, tulle looks great for a winter look when paired with heavier fabrics or with the right styling. I love a tulle skirt paired with a tailored jacket, or top with feature sleeves.
4) Blouse Under Dress
Wearing a long sleeve blouse under your dress is great for two reasons. Firstly, it can make a spring/summer style outfit autumn/winter appropriate. Secondly, it gives your outfit a whole new look, providing a contrast in fabrics, colours and added texture.
5) Pant Suits
Autumn/winter is the perfect time to bring out your funky pantsuits. Not only are they stylish, but they will keep you warm on a cold winterās day. Pantsuits or (even just funky pants) in bold colours and prints are fun to play around with and look great with fedoras and wide brim hats.
