Horse races last five days, and every day the lady is supposed to wear a new hat. Such a dress code due to a long tradition to be sure to cover your head in the presence of monarchs. And they are a lot on the Royal races. And every day the Queen herself opens with her appearance. All the ladies at the races are supposed to wear hats, and for gentlemen the cylinder is mandatory.
The dress code for attending the races is not very severe in Russia and very severe in England, where aristocratic traditions have long roots. Some deviations from the rules in Russia are overlooked, but for the same deviations from the English hippodrome they can simply be turned out! Nevertheless, there are still similarities, and it can be assumed that in the future the differences will be smoothed out, since the English dress code for horse racing is considered classic.
hats are mandatory for women and desirable for men. The man in the top hat is one of the most visible characters in horse racing. For those who do not wish to stand out too much, there are classic Fedor hats or jockey hats, as a tribute to riders. But still, at the races women run the ball. Their caps are riveted on everyones attention. The more extravagant the headdress, the longer its owner is remembered. Women's hats are decorated with huge bouquets of flowers and hearts, ships and castles, figures of birds and animals, hearts and even favorite shoes in miniature. A hat made in the shape of the jockey, for whom the lady is sick, is considered a good form. Most dedicated fans decorate their hats with miniature horses and betting tickets.
