This week, the UK is celebrating it’s love of fashion, horse racing, and hats with the annual Royal Ascot racing event. We’ve perused the glorious photos from last year, as well as the official Guidelines, and have put together a fun little Ascot accessorizing list. Have at it, racing lovers!
Hats are obviously the first thing we all think of when we think of the races. And the competition is fierce! But, it sure makes for some fun fashion watching, and we have the accessories for you to try your hand at it.
From buckram hat frames, silk flowers in all shapes, sizes and colors, to Russian Hat Netting, you can get going on some wild Ascot inspired fascinators.
The official guidelines also have wonderful tips for gentleman. From hats to beautifully tailored suits, they have loads of recommendations. But, the men have also got to wear ties or bow ties.
Fortunately, if you’d like to make a customized bow tie, we’ve got all the hardware you could possibly need! Or, if you prefer a tie, we have a great new necktie tutorial from Thread Theory on our blog, plus gorgeous fabrics available (like silks and Liberty Cotton).
But, if you just want to get in the spirit of the fun without committing to an elaborate outfit, we’ve got some fun notions available…
Like horse blazer buttons…
…to ribbons.
So, whatever your fancy takes to, make sure to find inspiration from Britex’s floors!
