ID 485696969 BRIEF MEDIAJ(W INDEX 1 PAGE 4 of 8 TIPS Your style can be fun and adventurous, but should stick to the daytime dress code - keep hemlines no shorter than on or just above the knee, and avoid sequins. Monochrome is a big trend that is great for racing, especially on Derby Day when the dress code is traditionally black and white. Choose one stand-out piece - whether it be headwear, clutch or jewels - and build the rest of your ensemble around it. Having contrasts in colours and textures creates a modern approach to sophisticated style.
ID 485696969 BRIEF MEDIAJ(W INDEX 1 PAGE 5 of 8 TIPS Make sure you try lots of different styles of headwear and tilt them at different angles on your head. A headpiece worn straight on the top of tw~^ can look silly, but a little til! forward and to one side can make all the difference. Turbans are a great option; team with some bold earrings or a necklace. Don't let your hat wear you - it's all about scale, form and proportion. If you are petite, a wide-brimmed hat will swamp you; similarly, on a tall girl a tiny feather fascinator looks wrong. M 1
