It’s the spring racing season and that means a whole lot of glamour and whole lot of fun with our outfits. It’s one of the rare occasions women really live it up with their style – the bold, the flamboyant, the elegant and stylish. The races may not be the flavour for many, nor for me personally, however I do love the fun of dressing up and flowing champagne.
One of the main race days on the Spring Racing Calender is ‘Derby Day’ and that as most of us know is all about the sophistication of black and white.
Even for those who are not into this sporting event, be inspired by these three sexy, bold and dramatic outfits suitable for any event you are attending this upcoming party season- with or without hats.
It may not be strictly black & white, but it’s close enough! This futuristic silver metallic taffeta bustier top will dazzle the crowd from a far. Teemed with flared trousers, elegant embellished mesh gloves and sparkly turban with a splash of the Art Deco in the earrings, you will be a beacon of light for everyone, where ever you may be.

You may see the influence of the 80’s TV hit drama Dynasty in this bold outfit – the exaggerated asymmetrical tulle collar jacket and sleek pencil skirt, sexy sandals, statement earrings. Of course you can’t go without the striking extra large rimmed hat tilted to the side for balance and attitude, just to add to the drama of this outfit. Finishing off with the peering green eyes on the clutch who you could easily liken to one of the powerful characters in the TV soap opera.
