This week Steph takes a deep dive into her wardrobe to show you how to put together an outfit for Race day. Whether you are attending for fun with a group of friends, wanting to enter the best dressed or going with a bent for the horses there are certain things that make a race day outfit work well.
Â
Start with one element and work the rest of your outfit around it. In this episode Steph shares how she started with a Zambesi dress when she won Addington Cup Days Fashion in the Field in 2006. She then styled the hat, shoes, jacket and all accessories to work with the dress.Â
Â
Alternatively she explains how you can start with a hat or fascinator and then work your outfit to fit with the vibe.. Aligning colours and shapes makes your outfit look cohesive – so if your clothing has circles in the fabric emulating this in your accessories and footwear gives a ‘styled’ look.Â
