Melbourne Cup Day is a good time to have a little more fun with your dress. Bright colour, florals and a great print all feel right for the occasion. Itโs a different look from the traditional black and white of derby day dresses, so youโve got plenty of room to choose something more colourful. Start with a dress youโd be excited to wear for the day, then build the rest of your race-day outfit around it.
For your Melbourne Cup dress, colour and length are a good place to start. A midi works nicely for a daytime race event and gives you enough length to feel dressed up for the occasion. Bright shades and florals are popular through spring, so a floral midi dress can be a lovely pick when you want more colour in the look. A classic print works just as well, with polka dot dresses giving you another option that still feels right for race day. When you already have a fascinator or shoes in mind, use those pieces to help narrow down the colour of your dress. Dress requirements can vary across Flemington ticketed areas, so itโs worth checking yours before the day.
For a full day at the track, go for a Melbourne Cup dress youโll still feel good wearing later in the afternoon. A dress with a little shape can feel really nice for Cup Day, especially with simple accessories. One shoulder dresses are a lovely option when you want something a little different through the neckline. From there, choose your shoes, bag and headwear, and pick up a colour from the dress when you put the rest of the look together.
