🎩 Royal Ascot Dress Code Basics

Ascot has different dress requirements depending on your enclosure. Here’s a quick overview:

Royal Enclosure

• Dresses must fall just above the knee or longer
• Shoulder straps must be one inch or wider (no halter/necktie styles)
• Jackets and pashminas allowed, but what’s underneath must still follow the rules
• Hats are mandatory (no fascinators)

Queen Anne Enclosure

• Formal daywear required
• Dresses and skirts must be of modest length
• Strapless, off-the-shoulder and spaghetti straps are not permitted
• Hats or fascinators required

Village & Windsor Enclosures

• Still formal, but slightly more relaxed
• Think: elegant summer wedding guest vibes
• Dresses and jumpsuits welcome as long as they remain polished
