Here is our definitive guide: A black or grey matt morning coat, single-breasted with peaked lapels, curved front edges sloping back into tails worn with grey or grey and black striped trousers. Waistcoats are usually dove grey, buff, yellow or duck-egg blue and either double or single-breasted. Double-breasted waistcoats must be worn fully buttoned whereas single-breasted should be worn with the bottom button left undone. A white or light-colored shirt with a white turned-down collar, double-cuffs, and cufflinks should be accompanied by a conventional neck tie. Cravats or bow ties are not permitted. A black or grey top hat must be worn while in the Royal Enclosure and may be removed while in restaurants and private boxes. Black lace-up shoes should be worn; either an oxford or a brogue, with black socks. |
