The Derby Day dress code
Derby Day fashion is renowned for its black-and-white dress code. This monochrome approach invites a focus on premium fabrics, precise detailing and remarkable craftsmanship. Black-and-white combinations can be expressed in many ways, from striking contrasts to layered tonal pairings, always maintaining an elegant finish.
For the occasion, consider tailored dresses paired with a sculptural hat or fascinator, or a structured jacket layered over a gorgeous skirt for a contemporary interpretation of Derby Day fashion. Wide-leg trousers with a silk crepe blouse offer an alternative to dresses. Accessories such as pearl earrings and leather clutches complete the look with understated luxury.
