Whether you're going for the first time or you're a seasoned attendee, deciding what to wear to Royal Ascot is a very important part of the day. Governed by a series of rules, depending on your enclosure, you'll have a different set of style codes to consider. Knowing what to wear to the races is one thing, but deciding what to wear to Royal Ascot is a bit trickier.

From the diameter of your hat base to the width of your dress straps, the dress codes are specific. One of the most celebrated events of British summer, from the horse racing itself to the parade ring, and singing around the bandstand at the end of the day, you're going to love it. This year, the event runs from Tuesday, 16th to Saturday, 20th June, and you can expect to see plenty of celebrities and members of the Royal Family dressed in their finery. Ladies Day, which is on Thursday, is always a real highlight for style, too.
