Attending a horse racing event is not just about the thrill of the race—it's also one of the most fashionable occasions on the social calendar.

If you're wondering what to wear to the races, this guide by REPULO’S offers elegant and modern outfit ideas perfect for VIP lounges, paddock access, or stylish grandstand seating.
Understanding the Dress Code
Most prestigious race days come with a formal or semi-formal dress code. Women are typically expected to wear cocktail dresses, sophisticated separates, or tailored suits—often accessorized with hats or headpieces. It’s the perfect moment to showcase refined silhouettes, bold statements, and designer details.
