How to Pick the Perfect Race Day Dress for Any Weather
Choosing the perfect race day dress can be a tricky task, especially when the British weather keeps us guessing. Your outfit should be a good mix of style, comfort, and practicality, whether you're going to Royal Ascot, the Grand National, or a summer get-together with friends. No matter what the weather is like, Goddiva's beautiful collection of event dresses will make you look stunning. Here's how to choose the best style for your race day outfit, regardless of the weather.
1. Sunny Skies – Embrace Elegance with a Bardot Midi Dress
Nothing says summer glam quite like a Bardot dress. For those bright and sunny race days, Goddiva’s Bardot midi styles are the perfect combination of femininity and sophistication. The off-shoulder neckline keeps you cool, and the fitting shape and bright colours will make you stand out in the crowd. For a classic look for race day, wear with sunglasses that make a statement and a hat with a wide top.
Top Pick: Goddiva Scuba Crepe Bardot Midi Dress – available in vibrant colors like cobalt and blush.
2. Light Rain – Stay Sleek in a Scuba Crepe Midi
Rain doesn't mean style has to be sacrificed. A scuba crepe midi dress from Goddiva not only fits like a dream but also resists creasing and clings less in damp conditions. These structured dresses hold their shape and look fabulous even when you have to dash under an umbrella. Choose a jewel tone to brighten up a gray day.
Top Pick: Goddiva One Shoulder Scuba Midi Dress – sleek, structured, and shower-resistant.
3. Cloudy but Mild – Try a Wrap Dress for Versatility
Wrap dresses are a great choice for unpredictable weather. Goddiva's wrap dresses look good on most body types because they have adjustable fits and cuts that flatter everyone. They're also easy to layer with a scarf or light jacket. The flowy fabric adds movement and flair, even if the weather stays dull.
Top Pick: Goddiva Satin Wrap Midi Dress – perfect for overcast days that don’t quite warrant a coat.
4. Heatwave Ready – Go Bold with a Sleeveless Midi
When the sun's blazing, it's time to go bold. Goddiva's sleeveless midi dresses are made for heatwave race days. Lightweight fabrics, daring necklines, and flowing hems keep you cool and comfortable while still turning heads. Think bright colors, floral prints, or pastel palettes to match the summer vibe.
Top Pick: Goddiva Sleeveless Pleated Midii Dress – elegant, breathable and race day-ready.
5. Chilly Breezes – Layer Up in a Long Sleeve Midi Dress
For cooler temperatures or early-season races, long sleeves are your best friend. Goddiva’s long sleeve midi dresses bring the drama while offering a bit of warmth. Choose styles with sequin embellishments or metallic finishes to keep the look luxurious. These dresses are also perfect if you want a more modest yet eye-catching outfit.
