Trend Alert: Race Day Fashion

With the Lindauer Melbourne Cup Day fast approaching our fool proof fashion guide will have you looking fantastic, no matter what your body shape! We have chosen the best picks for petites through to pears, along with shoes and accessories to make sure you look fantastic!

So if you are heading to the races or a great formal occasion, make sure to read this guide for your perfect race day look!

Slim Athletic
Use this season’s of the moment ruffles to create shape and softness to your thin frame. When choosing headwear, a hat that sits close to the face or is small and dainty will balance out the frame and add something to the outfit without detracting from the dramatic ruffly dress.
Inspiration: Christian Dior


 
1: Mink Pink Front Ruffle Dress $89.90 from Wild Pair
2: Sass Dress $149.90 from Lippy
3: Glitter Clutch $69.00 from Neelear Nomad
4: Trio Soft Hair Slide $12.00 from Diva
5: Tabbatha Round Toe Heel $150.00 from Witchery 
6: Hats 'n' Stuff Facinator £65.00 from Hats 'n' Stuff
 
Hourglass
Cinched in waists give hourglass forms vavoom, for my picks I've chosen quite 50s silhouettes the perfect friend for the hourglass body. When it comes to a hat, a wide sweeping brimmed style can be quite flattering, or a fascinator that adds height to your frame and balance to your shoulders.
Inspiration: Oscar De La Renta



1: Mischa Jewel dress $85.00 from Principals
2: Lavida Knit Dress $119.90 from Principals
3: Lace Clutch $99.00 from Neelear Nomad
4: Patent Cheetah Heel US$22.99 from GoJane
5: Viktoria Facinator US$56.00 from Etsy
6: Dorcas Wensell The Second Hat US$150.00 from Etsy
 
Petite
Go wild with a hat that reaches up towards the sky (thus making you appear taller), or something that is small and fits close into the body for a look that screams that your proud of your petite proportions!
Inspiration: Douglass Hannant



1:
Sass Dress $119.95 from Lippy
2: Amelia Dress $119.90 from Principals
3: Olga Berg Clutch Bags $79.00 from Neelear Nomad
4: Colour Block Heel $35.00 from GoJane 
5: Claire Facinator US$72.00 from Etsy
6: Eva Fun Facinator £70 from Hats 'n' Stuff
 
Apple
Look for flowing shapes across the middle of the body (baby doll dresses are perfect) or for items which have ruching across the tummy area. Both will give you a flattering shiloette.
Inspiration: Roberto Cavalli



1:
Ladkah Dress $169.90 from Lippy
2: Gazalle Dress $89.90 from Principals
3: Embelised Cigar Clutch AU$229.00 from Mimco
4: Siren Shoe $109.90 from Wild Pair
5: Blossom Hat £80.00 from Hats 'n' Stuff
6: Feather Pin $34.20 from Adern Farm
 
Pear
Keeping in mind that the pear body shape seeks to balance out the lower half, a hat with a lot of impact or drama will make this much easier to achieve, as will delicate or detailed necklines!
Inspiration: Baby Phat



1:
Dainty Dress $119.90 from Principals
2: Bodice Dress $179.90 from Staxs
3: Divine Twist Pump AU$189.95 from Witchery
4: Ivy Mesh Bag AU$69.95 from Witchery
