ATTENTION... ARE YOU OUR AUTUMN BEST DRESSED LADY? THE STYLE AWARDS HEAD JUDGE Finding autumnal fashion fit for the field can be challenging. As we move away from the bright colours of the summer wardrobe, a darker, more earthy colour palette with shades of burgundy work well. The choice of headwear is still important and will be the key to completing any race day outfit. Structured hats, more dramatic shapes and heavier fabrics such as felt pill box styles usually work well. I still think tweed is a racing staple and in autumn I love to see layering and even a staple pair of gloves to accessorise an outfit. NOEL BYRNE MIH, CHIEF EXECUTIVE BEDFORD LODGE HOTEL & SPA THE STYLE AWARDS PANELLIST JUDGE In terms of outfit planning, dressing in autumn is far easier than in summer. We know it will be chilly, so a coat is a must; tights and full toe shoes or boots are a necessity, and an umbrella just in case should always be kept handy. Key trends for A/W16 that I predict to see this Autumn Ladies Day are velvet, bell sleaves and slick 80s power suiting. Accessories will be important, and ladies who wish to add a fashion statement to an otherwise plain outfit may consider statement fur embellishments, guitar bag straps, charms, chokers and 70s-inspired platform shoes. Autumnal hats tend to become more practical than statement; they need to be securely fixed, so don t be tempted to select a structural masterpiece. One gust of wind and it will be gone, along with your lovely coiffured hair style!

FOCUS ON HATS Laylaleigh ladies have an individual style that sets them apart from the crowd any time of the year and we truly believe that winter racing can be, and is, as glamorous as summer racing. All our hats have been created in heavier fabric s to accommodate the colder weather, whilst our creative team s focus is still on the central design and intricate detail. A winter trilby or fedora is a staple piece and a great investment for anyone s Autumn racing wardrobe. These are on trend and practical for both racing or more day to day fashion, making them a great investment piece. We would always advise a coat for winter racing, keeping you looking elegant whilst warm and cosy. Autumnal colours are always in fashion for this time of year however it is easy to brighten up any dark coat with strong colours, in your hat and with accessories. Our Autumn Winter Collection, affectionately known as the girl about town has many strong colours, making you stand out in the crowd.

FOCUS ON FASHION GET SET FOR AUTUMN IN AW16 S NEW SHAPES, STYLES AND COLOURS. It s always sad to say farewell to summer, but the Hobbs AW16 collection is guaranteed to have you running head-long into the new season with arms outstretched. Layering is key, so look out for soft merino and cashmere knits in inventive styles such as the poncho and oversized tank. Colour is also a focus, and autumn s delicious new palette features complexion-flattering hues such as forest green, navy, caramel and burgundy. Coats are big news, so button up in the military trend, surrender yourself to a classic camel trench in the softest wool, or go bold in giant checks or vivid red. And if you only buy one thing this season, make sure it s something in khaki the season s major colour trend. ALGY BELMONT, MARKETING, PR & EVENTS MANAGER, HOBBS
