Remember, a great outfit is just the starting point for your day at Royal Ascot. How you carry yourself throughout the day and maintain your Royal Ascot look until the last race is crucial.

A Bag That Meets the Rules

Check the official Royal Ascot enclosure bag size restrictions before choosing your clutch. A structured bag approximately 20cm x 15cm in size is suitable for most women’s handbags.

Flat Shoes or Insoles

Heels can sink into the turf of the lawn and long days of standing can be tiring. So consider packing a pair of slim flat shoes or gel insoles to change into in the afternoon.

A Small Emergency Kit

A strip of fashion tape, a needle and thread for any repairs, and an extra earring back for any that may have come loose all pack in easily.

Weather Extras

A compact makeup travel case with a light cover mirror, small powder container for SPF powder and a fold-up umbrella (slim) for rainy days.

Hat Transport

Carry your hat in a hat box when you travel with it. If you put it in a bag it can get squashed and end up at your destination all scrunched up. For Royal Ascot Outfits, see aimeejoycelondon.com/ready-to-wear/elegant-dresses-for-ascot.

A little preparation the night before will make your day so much easier to enjoy.
