Royal Ladies

With just one day left, this year’s royal race meeting has been subject to much more than the odd opinion. Monday kicked off amidst a tumultuous cry of protest and objection, whether it was down to the orange stickers the men had to bear in place of their absent ties, or the rejection faced by the ladies in their spaghetti straps and short skirts. Nevertheless, this last week certainly has not disappointed when it comes to the style stakes.

Even though ladies day was greeted by gusts of wind that threw up more than the odd hat and skirt, many of the fairer sex managed to hold on to their headpieces and demonstrate some of the very best in British eccentricity and artistic license.

From the woman supporting the weight gargantuan blue stilton, complete with grapes, to the swarm of butterflies encircling another’s head, there was certainly some distinctive choices on the race course this year.

If you’re looking to delve into the world of headpieces and fascinators this season, why not opt for something a little more discreet, such as these vintage inspired fascinators from studsandlace.co.uk.
