How to wear….. Attending Oaks Day? Are you a natural?

Attending Oaks Day? Are you a natural, who favours more contemporary style over ruffles, frills , lace and pretty florals? As a stylist I often get asked about events that have a specific dress code like Oaks Day. Oaks Day is “Ladies Day” at the races so when selecting an outfit think everything that’s feminine, pretty, frilly and lacy. So for the natural contemporaries out there, who are attending Oaks Day and find this all a little daunting, choose an outfit in a neutral hue which has a touch of ruffles, like a pendulum top. Slip on a pair of nude heels. Keep your makeup simple, focus on a flawless base with feathery lashes. Wear your hair in perfectly coiled ringlets or if preferred allow it to cascade naturally. Glide on a head piece with a beautiful floral arrangement, bursting with pretty pink roses. So now we have the ruffles covered lets accessorise with a few frills, florals and pretty jewels. Firstly, add a pair of chalcedony earrings for instant elegance, then adorn your fingers with contemporary diamond rings. Elevating the look with a spectacular chalcedony, amethyst and diamond pendant. Then simply pop the look with a bright pink clutch in pretty florals. Contemporary yet frilly, simple yet elegant, sophisticated yet lacy…..Comfortably, contemporary yet still Oaks Day ready.

Oaks day….. contemporary style.
