S C H E DU L E O F T H E DAY R OYA L E N C L O S U R E B A D G E S

Royal Ascot is synonymous with sartorial elegance. This is upheld by our Dress Code, which invites guests to contribute to an occasion heralded as a major fashion event in its own right. It was Beau Brummell, perhaps Britain’s first fashion icon, who at the turn of the 19th century dictated the dress for gentlemen in the Royal Enclosure.

LADIES

Ladies are kindly reminded that formal daywear is a requirement in the Royal Enclosure, defined as follows:

• Dresses and skirts should be of modest length defined as falling just above the knee or longer.

• Dresses and tops should have straps of one inch or greater. Strapless, off the

shoulder, halter neck and spaghetti straps are not permitted.

• Jackets and pashminas may be worn. Tops and dresses underneath should still comply with the Royal Enclosure Dress Code. Midriffs must be covered.

• Trouser suits are welcome. They should be of full length to the ankle and of matching material and colour.

• Jumpsuits are welcome. The length should be below the knee, with the same regulations as dresses.

• Hats should be worn; however a headpiece which has a solid base of 4 inches (10cm) or more in diameter is acceptable as an alternative to a hat. Fascinators are not permitted.

GENTLEMEN

Gentlemen are kindly reminded that it is a requirement to wear either black or grey morning dress which must include:

• A waistcoat and tie (no cravats or bow ties) • A black or grey top hat • Black shoes worn with socks

A gentleman may remove his top hat within a restaurant, a private box, a private club or a facility’s terrace, balcony or garden. Hats may also be removed within any enclosed external seating area within the Royal Enclosure Garden.

The customisation of top hats (with, for example, coloured ribbons or bands) is not permitted in the Royal Enclosure.

Novelty waistcoats and ties, unless of a patriotic nature (for example your national flag) are not permitted.

Top hats by Oliver Brown, Ascot’s Official Licensee, are available at 75 Lower Sloane Street, London. oliverbrown.org.uk.

OVERSEAS VISITORS

Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal National Dress of their country or Service Dress.

SERVING MILITARY PERSONNEL

Serving military personnel are welcome to wear Service Dress or equivalent.

CHILDREN

Girls (aged 10-17) should dress in accordance with the ladies’ dress code. However, they may wear a headpiece or fascinator as an alternative to a hat, without any size restriction.

Boys (aged 10-17) should dress either in accordance with the gentlemen’s Dress Code; or alternatively may wear a dark-coloured lounge suit with a shirt and tie.

In addition to the specific guidance above, please note that fancy dress, novelty and branded/promotional clothing are not allowed on site.

Where your outfit does not adhere to the Dress Code, we will endeavour to assist your entry by supplying suitable additions such as shawls, underskirts and waistcoats. Please note some of these items may be chargeable.

Any customers whose personal circumstances cause difficulty adhering to the Dress Code are asked to contact the Royal Enclosure Office in advance.
