There are four important days involved in Spring Racing, Derby day, Melbourne Cup day, Oaks day and finally Emirates stakes day.

Derby Day kicks off on the 31st of October – here are the dress rules for Derby day, black and white is your dress code. However recommendations are, wearing both colours isn’t a must, wearing white on white can appear elegant and timeless but also allows you to stay cool in the warmer weather.

Here is your quick guide to fashion on each of these days:

Melbourne cup day, the race day that stop a nation. On the 3rd of November the nation stops to watch this very race however most workplaces and cities around the country will be holding events and competitions for the best dressed and these will be the talk of the day (of course we know the day is about the horse race ). However on this day it is time to make your mark and show off the fashionista that you really are. This is the time to dare to be daring. Colour is your best friend; Spring Racing is all about colour detail and exotic prints. This year keep an eye out for 70s inspired dresses and Japanese prints.

Finally on Oakes day, 5th of November another bright a colour day for the ladies. Chic, simple and stylish are always a girl’s best friend. Floral prints, lace and frills are the go and lots of pretty flowery prints. If 70s theme was not your option on Melbourne Cup day then Oaks day is another chance to get that 70s inspiration out in the open.

Emirates Stakes day concludes the 4-day Spring Racing cup carnival and is held on the 7th of November, a Saturday.
