Spring Racing Carnival Headwear Fashion Tip

We're in the beginning of spring racing season, and with so many events coming up it can be hard to tell the difference between the different race days. The Spring Racing Carnival is a three month-long world class festival showcasing thoroughbred racing, fashion and entertainment at its finest. On these events, visitors will find plenty of horse racing excitement, fabulous fashion and social events at both Victorian city and country tracks. The highlight of this spring carnival is the Melbourne Cup, known as the ‘race that stops a nation’, which is held every year on the first Tuesday in November. It is celebrated with luncheons and social events in workplaces and venues around the country. However, in the Spring Racing Carnival, it is the Caulfield Cup that will first take place, the world's richest 2400 metre handicap. The second is  the Cox Plate which is Australia's premier weight for age race. These three events are the big three spring races in Australia: Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and the Melbourne Cup.

As the Spring season started, so the race days are coming and along with these events is not just a racecourse that people are preparing for but also their fashion styles and get-ups. The first of the big events, the Caulfield Cup, will be held on Saturday, 19th October 2013.

The Caulfield Cup fashion is all about classic, chic daytime race wear that accentuates femininity and masculinity while being practical and gorgeous enough to befit the season and welcome in the races. When planning what to wear on the race days, remember to wear something that looks fantastic, but also remember that it needs to be comfortable.

A constant feature of the spring carnival will always be creams with soft pastels and off the shoulder dresses. Now that people are becoming more adventurous in their designs, bright bold colours with metallic and waist belts are becoming an increasing trend. Nude coloured accessories such as bags and shoes are also making their way into the race fashion. The crowds create a colourful display of designer suits, ties and frocks, but on the tip of every fashionista’s tongue are the hats on top of the ladies’ heads!

Hats are an essential accessory for any race wear attire that provides the wearer with shade and sophistication, grace and elegance. Nevertheless, in choosing the hat you would want to wear, the most significant is to select a hat you feel comfortable in. A ridiculously large and adorned hat can be heavy and hard to wear, so select a piece crafted from light fibres and materials to ensure you look and feel your best and can relax and enjoy the races. Natural fibres like sinnamay and straw form a softer spring look, and brighter colours are the best for the Spring Racing Carnival.
