Always make sure you have a wrap or jacket to compliment your race-day outfit. Goose bumps are not an ideal fashion accessory!
Tip 2 - Choose an appropriate hat or fascinator
There is no better excuse to put on a fantastic hat than Ballarat BMW Ballarat Cup Day, just ensure you chose one that’s going to work for you. You do not want to sit down to lunch in a wide brimmed hat and constantly worry about knocking into the person sitting next to you.
Tip 3 – Test drive your shoes
There is nothing worse than wearing a fantastic pair of new shoes and then realising by the third race that they are not going to last the day. Always wear in your shoes, pack some band-aids just in case – you do not want to be carrying your shoes home!
Tip 4 – Don’t wear an evening gown
The races are all about having a great day out and looking the part. Evening wear does not belong at a racetrack.
Tip 5 – Dress up last year’s hat
You don’t need to spend a small fortune to look great at the races. Look at what you already have and revamp an old outfit by making a new trim for your hat or if you are feeling really creative make your own fascinator with a hair comb and some feathers
