Crowned heads are also the best hats during the famous English equestrian sport. And the reason is grandfatherly.
More than a horse show, Royal Ascot is also (above all) an elegance competition. It is a matter of tradition. The prestigious racetrack in the city of Ascot is an annual excuse for a huge parade of toilets. At a meeting of the British elite, if all the guests are dressed up to nine, members of the royal family are systematically crowned with the most powerful hats. The reason for this coquetry is not aesthetic, but regulating. The horse race, founded in 1768 by Queen Anne, goes hand in hand. dress code: strict, which varies according to the stands, number four. The tallest of all, the royal gallery, is subject to numerous instructions regarding the size of dresses, trousers և … hats.
At least 10 cm in diameter, this is the size you need for a hat on the Ascot Royal Stand, knowing that a top hat is a must for men. It is not allowed to insult Kate Middleton, who copied during the platinum anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II, “fascinator”, a luxurious hat, is not allowed. The list of clothing restrictions is long, ignoring any desire for transparency, neckline, logos and other suits, pants that have a bad taste to match. But do not panic, Royal Ascot publishes a guide every year for those who are confused by the instructions. In 2008, organizers distributed a dress code reminder when the victim of its popular success saw the social event with the arrival of a less concerned outfit society. This year Styling Guide: has 36 pages. Enough to find a suitable hat.
