Thoroughbreds and High Fashion at the Royal Ascot

Monday June 2, 2008

There aren't many places left where men can wear top hats and tails without looking just a tad overdressed, but at the Royal Ascot horse racing series outside London every June, "morning dress" is not only appropriate, it's required. The first event of the Stayers' Triple Crown represents five days of top-level thoroughbred racing, but it's also one of the biggest events on the society calendar, with the movers and shakers of southern England dressed to the nines and strutting their stuff. But don't fret if you can't clink champagne flutes with the Queen in the Royal Enclosure, the general public is welcome in the stands (no jacket required), which provide an excellent view of not only the action on the racetrack, but the parade of fancy hats as well. Ascot is a short drive from several Starwood hotels, including the Sheraton Skyline Hotel & Conference Centre.
