ROYAL Ascot
Royal Ascot is the centrepiece of Ascot's year, dating back to 1711 when it was founded by Queen Anne.
Royal Ascot is one of the largest social events of the year and press coverage of who's who and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the racing itself.

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. |
