The atmosphere is casual so dress for the weather and comfort rather than dres to the nines. However this time of year, it is a chance to wear the first of the spring/summer fashions hitting the stores and you can still show off your casual fashion flair.
The Hat 4b4t33
Hats are not compulsory and a large majority of the ladies opt not to wear one, If you do love a hat, keep it toned down with something understated like a fedora or a headband. Alternatively instead of a hat add sparkle to your hair with bejewelled hair decorations.

The weather can be unpredictable this time of year, so take an oversized handbag in a summery shade to carry all your racing essentials such as pashmina, umbrella and sunglasses.

Although a jacket is not obligatory, the cool April weather has other ideas. A smart blazer will keep the chill in the air off whilst bringing dapperness to a pair of smart jeans or chinos.

Although there is no strict dress code, Ladies Day is the highlight of the season so racegoers usually like to dress for the occasion
For the Ladies, We Say… 2bq41
With a cash prize for the winner of the Style Awards, this is your day to shine and show off your style whether it be glamorously flamboyant or understated elegance.
The Hat 4b4t33
Most ladies will be wearing a headpiece especially if they are entering the Style Awards. From a simple fascinator to a show stealing hat, nothing will look out of place.
The Sandal 4q73z
July is the season for sandals, but we are not talking about beach sandals, you are dressing to win that Style Award! High Heels elongate the legs and add elegance to an outfit. The stiletto may look sexy but not so good if you are on your feet all day. Go for a chunkier heel or a wedge – you will still ooze glamour.
The Pedicure 1y4b4v
Every little detail matters in your pursuit of the Style Awards so ensure your feet are in tip top condition as they will be exposed in sandals. A pedicure can give them a freshly groomed look and complete your flawless outfit.
Choose a nail polish colour to match the mood of your outfit: soft pastel shades for romance; reds, purple and burgundy for the classic sexy style and bright colours for a bold look.

Don’t let the ladies down and complement them by dressing for the occasion.
The Shirt 5u6i19
For the hospitality areas, gentlemen are asked to wear a collared shirt (a tie is not essential).
It is the middle of summer so your shirt will be the most on display. Show off your fashion flair with something different to the white or pale blue shirt. Go wild with pattern and bold with colour.
Maybe wild patterns and bold colours are not your sartorial taste? You can still stand out from the crowd of white and pale blue shirts with more subtle patterns and softer colours.
The Tros 21e1k
Stay cool in a pair of light coloured chinos or tailored shorts.
Jeans also can be worn. In the Roof Garden and Hospitality areas, they must be of dark denim and not ripped, torn or frayed.
Shoes 3b1r2j

August is the month to wear sunglasses and is a popular accessory in all of the enclosures.

What to Wear to Bath Racecourse for the Beckford Stakes in October? 2l5r58
Dress for the weather.
Ladies, We Say… 2k13
We wouldn’t like to bet on the weather being warm and sunny so try go for a dress in a warmer fabric such as jersey and preferably with long sleeves – a great transitional piece allowing you to layer underneath with a thermal t-shirt and thick tights if it is a bit nippy. Bring along a light jacket in a summery colour or a cardigan. A pair of tros or smart jeans allows you to make a last-minute choice on wearing a jumper, blouse or camisole depending on the weather that day.
The Hat 4b4t33
Hats are not compulsory and a large majority of the ladies opt not to wear one. If you do love a hat, keep it toned down with something understated like a fedora or a headband. Alternatively instead of a hat add sparkle to your hair with bejewelled hair decorations.
Footwear 1r236a
A safe and glamorous bet is the full shoe or the ankle boot which doesn’t look out of place in warm or cold weather.

Although autumnal days are here, it is really too early to be wearing heavy winter coats and jackets -opt for a lighter coat, a lightly padded jacket or a trench coat. If the weather is mild, go for a sleeves vest or waistcoat underneath a blazer.
Blazers allow you to be more sartorially daring with bright colours and bolder patterns.
