\n1. The Dress Code<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re not talking about rules and tips to get you looking your best yet. We\u2019re talking about hard rules and dress code. This is something that you really need to do research about before you start choosing your gear. Different venues have different rules and they even differ for different days and even for the varying enclosures you may be in. Read up and find out exactly what you can and can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n2. Look at the weather forecast<\/strong>
\nIt may be hot and sunny or raining and freezing cold. Regardless of the time of year \u2013 you know what the UK is like. The month has no bearing on the forecast!
\nSo with that out of the way, let\u2019s tackle a few tips to get you looking your best:<\/p>\n\uf0a7\tWhen trying to look your best at any race day, choose a suit and go for a classic styling.
\n\uf0a7\tTo show off your personality, choose a pattern or colour to invigorate your look..
\n\uf0a7\tIf you\u2019re unsure about what to choose or unconfident with pattern or colour then opt for a timeless colour such as black, navy or grey.
\n\uf0a7\tIf you\u2019re still feeling lacklustre, try adding accessories such as lapel pins, bow ties or pocket squares.
\n\uf0a7\tKeep your shoes smart and formal and ensure that they match the colour of your suit:<\/p>\n
\n- Black suit: black shoes<\/li>\n
- Navy suit: brown or burgundy shoes<\/li>\n
- Grey suit: black or brown shoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. The Broken Suit Look<\/strong>
\nIf you really want to rock a look with lots of personality, you can try the broken suit look. This means mixing up your jacket and trousers. In order for this to work though, you need to stick to the same colour family and the same texture. I\u2019ve included Chum\u2019s infographic below which will guide you through some of the different styles of trousers available. If you\u2019re heading to the races, you definitely want to stick solely within the \u2018suit trousers\u2019 family.<\/p>\n![\"Where](\"http:\/\/wildtide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Where-to-Wear-Chums.jpg\")
