Ladies Day at Aintree isn’t like any other race day. This one is for the ‘here to be seen’ers’ and the ‘go glamorous or go home’ers’.

A day marked in the calendar months in advance, Ladies Day is watched the world over, renowned for its famous race day fashion.

River Island's Style Guide

Dress the part of someone who wins big at the races, and you probably will. Manifestation and all that. From Aintree to Cheltenham, we love dressing up for raceday (when else can you wear a fascinator?) which is why we’ve partnered with River Island to create a style guide. Oh, and if your horse wins that’s just the cherry on top.
