The winning look

Racing fans are looking forward to The Dubai World Cup that will be held on Saturday. Good horse sense and a good dress sense are the mark of an experienced race-goer. Spurring ladies on to look their best on race day are the Best Dressed Lady‚ and Best Hat‚ competitions held during this richest horse race in the world.

Race wear must have an understated elegance. Since the day is spent outdoors, the clothes must be comfortable and suited to the weather.

Traditional race wear includes floral print feminine dresses, tailored suits as well as jackets and skirts. The colours for this season are baby blue, pastel pink, olive green, rust, brown and the ever popular ivory and black.
