The Race Day Attire

Well-tailored suit

It is always a safe bet to have the right tailored suit when dress up for race day. But of course, how exactly should you wear the suit? There are a lot of men who are still confused on what type of suit they should buy. A well-tailored suit means that it has been pretty much custom made according to your body’s form. There are different types of suits that you could go for from the basic blazer jacket and matching trousers to a three piece. A few types of suits include American, Italian and British suits.

American style suits have been popularised in the 1920s by Ivy League students then. Among its characteristics are its straight lines. If you check the old American style suits, you'll notice a more relaxed fit compared to the modern day version.

British suits, on the other hand, are cut closer to the body. Their design more shoulder defining. If you prefer the pants to be a bit fitted and accentuate your figure a bit more, then this is the option that you should go for.

Bow ties or neck tie?

It's fine to wear either a bow tie or regular neck ties for a day at the races. A bow tie will help you stand out but sporting a bow tie can be a little risky especially if it won’t match well with your suit. The best option is to use the classic silk neck tie with simple stripes or Paisley pattern design instead. For extra points wear a pocket square in matching colours.

The Race Accessories for Men

Lapel Pins

A day at the races is always a fun the time to catch up with some of your friends or break the ice and chat to that gorgeous lady/man you noticed from across the field. If you're looking to stand out then wear a Lapel Pin. You would be surprised how many men don't utilise this simple and impactful accessory. Lapel Pin's are also a cheap accessory any man can wear on any jacked or blazer lapel. Flower Lapel pins are very popular and look very smart on a blazer. These attach to your suit or blazer jacket lapel and come in a wide variety of designs. Most men don't go to the effort to wear a lapel pin, so stand out and get pinning!

Cufflinks

What type of cufflinks should Mr Dapper wear at a day at the races? There are different cufflinks that you could choose from. Wear a simple plain steel or sterling silver cufflink to match with pretty much any other accessory, or choose something that will match your other accessories and style more closely.  There are horse shoe designed cufflinks that can be a great thing for those who are looking for a more appropriate design.

Rings

Wear a Fashion Ring to ad that extra touch of detail to your outfit. Generally any ring in Steel or Silver will match the buckles on your belt and the clasp on your bracelet. If you are already a married man, it doesn’t hurt to show everyone your wedding ring. For bachelors, wear a ring on your thumb or pinkie finger.

Men’s bracelets

Men’s bracelets can be a good addition to your overall look during racing day. It can be a subtle Sterling Silver Chain or Cuff Bracelet which could match your timepiece on the other hand.

A simple silver bracelet cuff may do the trick. But of course, there are intricate designs out there. Minor Detail has the largest range of Men's Bracelets online in Australia. 

Timepiece

Men used to wear watches in order to tell them what time it is. Of course, times have changed! People now rely on their phone in order to know what time it is and their wrist piece to tell them their heart rate and amount of steps they've taken.  But this is no reason for men to stop wearing a nice watch and I feel this makes classy timepieces a stand out accessory with even more impact when done right. But of course, you wouldn’t pick just any type of watch - wear a watch with a quality Swiss movement in a classic design with a nice leather strap.
