Your guide to the best dresses, headwear and last-all-day shoes to keep you in top form trackside.

DRESSING UP IS THE NEW DRESSING DOWN

Aside from the odd wedding and work function, when do you get the chance to dress up? As in, heels-on, hair-considered, use-an-eyeshadow-palette kind of dress up? Add a headpiece to these getting-ready rituals and you’ve got the joy of dressing for the racing season. As fashion’s love of athleisure wanes in favour of elevated elegance, the races is the ideal place to debut this new commitment to ladylike glamour. Think bold colours, an excess of ruffles and a golden headband adorned with butterflies – details that add a chic touch no matter where you’re cheering from this Melbourne Cup Carnival.
