With some of the Burdekin Race Club’s biggest race days approaching, where speed and agility take centre stage, there's another race happening alongside the track - the race to showcase the most stylish and innovative ensembles at the Fashions on the Field. As we step into 2024, fashion enthusiasts and racegoers alike are in for a treat, with a blend of classic elegance and cutting-edge trends dominating the scene. Consider the below when planning your outfit.
Light and Airy Dresses: Embrace the north Queensland weather with dresses made of breathable fabrics like linen or silk in pastel or bright hues. These will keep you cool and stylish throughout the race day.
Tailored Suits in Spring Hues: For a sophisticated look, opt for a well-fitted suit in spring-inspired colours. This timeless ensemble ensures you stand out while adhering to the dress code.
Statement Hats: Elevate your outfit with a statement hat that adds flair and personality. From oversized floppy hats to chic fascinators, there's a style for every taste.
Eye-Catching Jewellery: Accentuate your look with bold jewellery pieces that complement your outfit. Think colourful earrings, chunky bracelets, or statement necklaces to add a touch of glamour.
Vibrant Shoes: Step into the races with shoes in vibrant colours or fun patterns. Whether you prefer classic pumps or stylish sandals, make sure your footwear makes a statement.
Layering Pieces: Be prepared for any weather changes by incorporating layering pieces into your outfit. A lightweight cardigan or blazer can easily be added or removed as needed.
Chic Sundresses: Opt for a chic sundress in floral prints or pastel shades for a feminine and elegant look. Pair it with sandals or heels for a versatile ensemble that's perfect for race day.
Fashions on the Field is a celebration of diversity, innovation, and conscious style. As racegoers grace the tracks with their fashion-forward ensembles, it's clear that this year's trends are not just about looking good but making a bold statement about the future of race day fashion.
