Ladies are required to wear a hat, headpiece, or fascinator in the Queen Anne Enclosure at Ascot.
Lock & Co. recommends the Libra Wide Brim Hat in black, a perfect choice for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot. "I love the simplicity of the Libra hat - you can dress up any outfit with almost zero fuss. Simple elegance at its best." Says Awon Golding, Head Millinery Designer.
Alternatively, choose a headpiece handcrafted with elegance such as the Capricorn Pillbox - "The runaway success of our Mayfair pillbox inspired the summer refresh of this timeless shape. The straw gives this piece a light and airy feel, whilst maintaining the original's playfulness." Awon Golding, Head Millinery Designer.
Gentlemen, although no hat is required, we suggest completing your race day outfit with one of our felt hats, or if the weather is fair, consider a stylish Panama.
Westminster High Crown Top Hat - A hat that has become synonymous with the Royal Ascot and weddings. For centuries, the top hat has been a symbol of distinction and class among discerning gentlemen.
