Once you've locked in the date, prep for your best time yet. 

One thing that will make you feel confident? Wearing an ensemble that makes you feel like your best self.

It's important to note that there are dress codes for these events though.

These may vary depending on the location, the event and the area you'll be in. While the races are steeped in tradition, dress codes have become a bit more lax in the past few years. Guests at the Members' area are expected to follow traditional dress codes more closely while those in the General Admissions area are given the opportunity to dress a little bit more relaxed.  

The general rule of thumb is to keep it classy and elegant. For women, think special occasion or something you might wear to a wedding, a graduation and more — that can be a dress, jumpsuit, a top and bottom pair. For men, opt for tailored pants, a collared shirt with tie, and a jacket, sports coat or blazer.

Fun fact: If you're attending the races from overseas, wearing your country's formal national wear is a big "yes!"
