This season, bold florals and mid-length hemlines make for the most stylish race day look.

If opting for florals or a bold print, the on-trend way to style this look is to go big on colour for both your outfit and your accessories.

However, if mid-length hems are more your thing, A-line is always a flattering option for all body shapes. Or why not add a touch of glamour to your look by pairing a asymmetrical skirt with a beaded cropped top.

Lace and bold stripes are still a firm favourite this year and make for a chic and contemporary race style.
