At the ‘Super Bowl of horseracing” one must definitely dress to impress at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The Santa Anita Park backdrop consists of a beautiful California Dreamin’ scenery, warm sunshine, and super stylish spectators trackside. So, don’t “skimp” when it comes to the outfit. Ladies and gents will be wearing their finest frocks topped off with their most fashionable fascinator or fedora.
From classic whites, bold and bright, and exciting prints, 2016 will surely be a hit for fabulous equestrian style at the Breeders’ Cup.
Classic White
Ladies: Think classic and elegant for Breeders’ Cup Saturday. Subtle details like lace, beading, or embroidery will add just the right amount of pizazz for race day. Jazz it up with a showstopping heel like these featured by Christina Lombardi, the black suede ‘Nicole’.
Gents: Break up the monotone look with a touch of Breeders’ Cup purple in your tie or pocket square.
Accessorize in the best! Completing the look with a Christine A. Moore hat, fascinator, or fedora is a must at the Breeders’ Cup. The shoes should be nothing but glamourous. We absolutely love the new Christina Lombardi collection featuring fine craftsmanship and luxurious leather from Italy.
Bright and Bold
Ladies: Dress fashionably, but it’s important to be functional for a long day and evening of exciting races. Wearing a dress that can easily transition from day to night with a simple accessory change is key. For example, wear wedges during the day, and black suede heels for the evening.
Ready for the evening? Dress it up with black heels and a black clutch…
Gents: Break out your boldest and brightest colored sport coat and coordinate with your date.
Exciting Prints and Patterns
Ladies: Stand out in the crowd with some exciting prints and patterns for the Breeders’ Cup this year. You never know who you may run into in the Chandelier Room, or trackside VIP areas. Standing amidst stylish celebrities like Elizabeth Banks, Bobby Flay, Kate Upton, and Carson Kressley on the purple carpet is just one reason to sport some exciting prints and patterns this year.
Gents: Go big or go home. Jazz up the suit with a printed bowtie and pocket square. From polka dots to paisley prints and horseshoes to horse bits, these print details will spark conversation not only amongst the group, but maybe even spark some new relationships.
