Dresses for the Races

1. What should I wear to the races?

Whether you’re attending Royal Ascot, Ladies' Day, or any other race event, dresses for the races are all about elegance and sophistication. For more formal events such as Royal Ascot, it’s important to follow the dress code; this includes modest hemlines and covered shoulders, with the look finished off with a hat or fascinator. From simple race day dresses to elevated embellished pieces, find race day dresses that match the occasion’s grandeur at Karen Millen.

2. What is the dress code for Ladies’ Day?

Ladies’ Day at the races is the ultimate occasion to showcase your style. The dress code typically requires Ladies' day dresses that are stylish and formal. Midi and maxi race day dresses offer a refined and polished choice, making them a popular choice for Ladies’ Day. Whether you prefer structured fits or feminine flowing designs, our dresses for Ladies’ Day are designed to meet dress codes while ensuring you stand out with timeless elegance.

3. What are the best styles for women’s race day dresses?

Race day dresses in midi and maxi lengths are popular choices. Figure-hugging fits, such as bodycon dresses and belted styles, create a sleek and sophisticated look, while flowing a-line and wrap dresses add a touch of femininity. Our collection also features race day dresses with intricate details, such as lace, pleats, and embellishments, which elevate the ensemble, making them ideal for prestigious events like the races. Choose from bold prints, soft pastel hues and romantic floral prints to complement the warmer weather season to complete your race day look.
