Ascot Dress Code – Fascinators banned in Ascot Royal Enclosure

WRUW — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:42:02 +0000

This years dress code for Ascot will be enforced more rigorously than in previous years, the organisers at Ascot have been concerned that standards have slipped. Fascinators will no longer be acceptable and ladies will be required to wear hats in the Royal Enclosure, skirt/dress length must be on, or below the knee, not above. Strapless tops or dresses, or sheer straps on tops or dresses are also not allowed. For men, a suit, waistcoat and tie are obligatory, but cravats are not allowed. These strict rules must be adhered to within the Royal Enclosure, however within the Silver Ring, the rules are slightly less rigorous, but for gents a suit & tie remains obligatory.

As beautiful as she looks, this outfit is a no no!
