* DERBY DAY *
Traditionally know for having the classic colour scheme of black and white for women and men to be dressed in "morning suits", which is a slightly less formal suit and normally is in a mid-grey. This day kicks off the start of the flemington spring racing carnival, it is always held on the Saturday prior to the Melbourne cup.
Derby day is becoming the best dressed day out of all the days and it definitely attracts all of Melbourne's most beautiful people.
To do well in fashions on the field on this day, you must be dressed in black and white, with a high level of sophistication and some element of difference on your outfit, whether it is your hat, a patterned fabric or some amazing shoes!! Anything that will make you stand out of the sea of black and white.
* Caulfield Guineas Day *
Caulfield cup is a predominately a younger crowd. Expect to see more commercial fashions and some fashions that should not be allowed!! Fake tan smothers the air, trashy looking outfits are everywhere, and my advice is to leave a bit earlier as it is a very messy crowd.
Fashions on the field entrants, should go for a young fresh look, something with a bit of color and confidence. Fashions on the field has a great under cover set up, so no matter the weather the competition will still go on and be sure to practice your cat walk as the judges are sitting right at your feet.
* Oaks Day *
Also known as ladies day is held on the Thursday following the Melbourne cup. Oaks day fashion is all about embracing the beautiful colors of spring and being ultra feminine. The crowd at oaks day is eccentric yet stylish, however over the last few years the men have caught on to the idea that it is ladies day, so they swarm in packs to scout out the lovely females!!
Fashions on the field must for oaks day is color , class and feminine dressing. Your out fit must be coordinated very well from head to toe. It is not the strongest fashion day so it is my tip to head to oaks day this year as there is not as much competition.
* Stakes Day *
Stakes day fashions is all about a bit of fun for the kids!! So all you young ones wanting to compete this is your oppurtunity, there is three different age groups to enter in; junior age 6-10, intermmediate age 11-14 and senior age 15-17.
So parents don't forget when you are out getting your outfit and need to get your kids one too. The most important thing is keeping the kids looking their age, young and cute as pie.
* Melbourne Cup*
Last but not the least the Melbourne Cup, the biggest horse race, but is the biggest day for fashions....
I would personal rate it 3rd place with Derby day and Oaks comming in before it.
The Melbourne cup attracts a bit more of a rudy crowd it doesn't quite exserube elegance, maybe more like boggans..
The Fashions on the field competion is good, my tip would be to wear a on trend outfit, this is the day that the judges like to see there " Myer", outfits come out. Just like last years winner was wearing Cue, it's modern and chic, but it is also a bit boering.
Well ladies and gents I hope you pick the perfect day for what you are looking for.
