Ascot Dress Code

The Ascot website has dress code info for all meetings.  I'd let you in because of your name but jeans ffs; it's Ascot. Show some style. 


Have a nice time.

He still thinks that he is in the Crow`s Nest

Seen a lot scruffier than that at an Ascot winter meeting.

Nine races! Five hours! I'll be wearing my Tena pants. And a tie.

rodrigo i needed a suit for a wedding a few years back  and dint want ta spend £100s of pounds on something i would wear once in a blue moon ,i have an upmarket area a  mile or so away from me so thought i would try one of the charity shops there ,went in and bought a hugo boss suit for £12 and while i was there also bought a charles tyrwit white shirt for £3 both were near new and had been dry cleaned and pressed ...........suited and booted  for £15.

It does depend to an extent on which enclosure you're going to .In winter they're much more relaxed but they don't like trainers or jeans. A smart jacket is fine and a collared shirt is required
(no football vests/shirts) although tie unnecessary.

Are women allowed to wear jeans? if yes then why? And how do you define jeans. Any denim? Always massive hypocrisy surrounding dress code. I remember taking my (then student) son to Haydock around 20 years ago. I was wearing corduroy trousers and a tweed jacket. He had a sweater and jeans but looked very tidy. We were refused entry to Members so I asked whose clothes didn't comply. Of course they pointed to my son. When we went into the other enclosure my son very wisely pointed out that the course had deprived themselves of £20, the difference in price between the two!

The wealthy are still clinging on to the last vestiges of class distinction.

Jeans are fine,as long as they aint got holes in!!

I feel that decent standards of dress are essential at race meetings.

I don't dress like a bag of muck anyway, so I don't want to stand next to someone who looks like they just finished a shift in a factory.

I'm surprised at the real doctor even admitting he goes in the same enclosures as the factory workers.

Do you dress like a bag of muck at racecourses louse?

I don't mean when you go to cut the grass either.

Or pick up the litter after the show.

I sort of agree Dr C. but who is the arbiter of what is in vogue and what is not? Hardly anyone wears a tie these days, including many cabinet ministers. When I went racing regularly from 1980 until about 2010 I always wore a jacket and tie. As a pig farmer I wasn't going in my working overalls which could have caused offence Initially I dressed that way as it was the done thing, latterly from habit, but I never dressed like that to go anywhere else after 2000. Why are some racecourses insisting on people wearing something they would never buy for any other purpose?

I’ve invested in a cane.

All fine gentlemen should have a cane imo and I noticed no one else has them when I go racing.

Got a really sweet pimp cane from eBay. Sweet.

Stylish
Comes with a flip top for easy access to your Charlie.
Pretty sturdy if you need to deliver a beating....all gentlemen need keep their ho in check imo especially at the racing.

Nice to see Jacob poasting on here.

Sounds like a thoroughly modern man next to the real doctor's diatribe against the working classes.

Ascot & Goodwood, courses with the strictest dress codes & those with the two biggest race course punch ups last year.

I'm a member at Ascot and during the afternoon generally have a walk through the ground floor grandstand.I see beer swilling men dressed in very tight fitting suits,no socks,stupid haircuts with their scantily dressed ,fat ,tattooed women tottering about half drunk. The fact is they are enjoying themselves and being 'forced' into clothes they wouldn't wear on a day to day basis is part of the fun on the day out.Yes they're a bit rowdy but very rarely does it erupt into violence and if it does Ascot nowadays has the ability to deal with it.

.......if it does Ascot nowadays has the ability to deal with it.

Have they been issued with Steed style bowler hats

McCoy Carp - "Ascot & Goodwood, courses with the strictest dress codes & those with the two biggest race course punch ups last year".

The Goodwood scrap wasn't in the bit with the strict dress code.  Us Tie wearers saw nothing

Lol

They have Bowler Hats like Oddbod in James Bond

tobymugs is there today wearing fatigues.

Thought I might go to Royal Ascot this year until I saw the prices and dress code. £95 per day

and men must wear a suit with a collared shirt and a tie. About time they came into the 21st century.

Even if I were a millionaire I wouldn't go there under those terms!

I'm sure they wouldn't want the likes of me there anyway as I don't have the right accent. I say

Newcastle as Newcassle. not newcarsle. Anyone for Royal Arscot?

no
