On the lookout

Racing season is the time for colour (we’re pushing primary solids, can you tell?) and for a modern femininity that adheres to the dress codes. We’re always going to suggest something fresh, new and different. The coloured suit will fit the bill, especially when coordinated with a matching clutch. Or how about a 60s shift dress with a boater hat on top? Because remember, the hat is the punctuation of your outfit, not an afterthought. It’s the time to indulge in your fashion fancy, with jewelled headbands or the kind of pleated skirts that will deliciously swish while you walk on by. It’s off to the races! Zara Wong
