The Anatomy of Racewear

The dress (or jumpsuit)

This is the piece you'd want to build your look on. Top tip: Opt for something you'd wear to a semi-formal occasion. And do take note of the season!

The shoes

Pick a dressy pair to go with your dress or jumpsuit. But make sure you pick something comfy for standing and dancing around. Avoid silk, satin or suede shoes cos these can get stained easily.

The headwear

The piece that turns an outfit into a race-day-ready look. It would be easy to go for something quick and inexpensive. We say, quality should be first priority. A great-quality piece of headwear is designed and crafted to not only look good but also stay in place comfortably as you have fun.
