Raceday Ready Fashions
From trackside thrills to champagne spills, race day pulse is electric; with live entertainment, the highly anticipated fashions on the field & the ‘Gee Gee’s’ racing at full speed, this is autumn racing at its finest and where style, sport & spectacle collide.
This is King of the Mountain 2025.
Whether you’re sipping bubbles in the Clive Berghofer Grande Atrium, soaking up the atmosphere with a prime trackside view at the birdcage, or bringing the vibe at the Back lawn Party with the DJ spinning the tunes, Clifford Park’s race day on March 28th is the highlight of our autumn social calendar and our first major fashion event of the year. And, while you may be planning to take a punt on the favourite, we don’t want you gambling on your outfit, so we’ve got everything you need to know right here to make sure you are winning in the fashion stakes – because let’s be honest, race day is your runway!
Let’s start with the ladies – the style stakes are high and this season, race day fashion strikes a balance between the extremes with bold attention-grabbing statements to be made on one side, with a softer offering of timeless refined elegance on the other.
For those who dare to be bold, look for bubble hems and inflated silhouettes, adding volume and movement to your outfit.
And while we are on the topic of show stopping statements, nothing says ‘racing’ quite like florals; they’re the sparkle to your champagne and the icing on your cake… this season though, take your florals to a new level, think vibrant and bold (no room for wallflowers).
If you’re looking for understated elegance that will still see you at the top of the fashion stakes, focus on sheer layers and soft ethereal fabrics that create a whimsical romantic look … we like to call it ‘swish’… light & floaty with a touch of intrigue and a hint of allure.
For colour inspiration, think powdery pinks & soft cornflower blues #dreamy
We wouldn’t be talking about fashion at the races without the consideration of a fabulous sharp suit. Tailored blazers and structured pieces that give you a modern and sophisticated take on racewear and mileage way beyond the race track; add the racing flavour and play it up with accessories; this is the perfect place to have fun.
For the finishing touch, let’s talk hats and fascinators. Racewear is a chance to elevate your look; Ladies – we don’t need an excuse to dress up, but few occasions call for ultimate outfit glow up!
Gents…We haven’t forgotten about you!
This season it’s about classic tailoring with a contemporary twist. Don’t be afraid to make bold statements with a refined edge.
Think tailored separates and mix and match for effortless elegance or go all in and consider a full suit with sharp cuts and statement accessories (you might even give the ladies a run for their money!).
And before we wrap this up, don’t think headwear doesn’t apply to you –it’s the ultimate finisher that some might consider a race day essential. If you dare.
Ladies and Gents, whether you go bold or keep it sleek, race day is the time to bring your fashion A-Game! #giddyup! Make sure to head to King of the Mountain website to secure your tickets for the Raceday here:
