What to wear to Derby Day!
Derby Day is undoubtedly one of the most sophisticated days on the Spring racing calendar. Taking place on Saturday November 2nd, Derby Day is all about keeping it sleek, elegant and of course, monochromatic. Complementing Melbourne’s style, this race day is the perfect opportunity to work a head to toe black ensemble or test out the current white on white trend! As the colour palette is kept simple, why not play with texture! Lace and leather for example, make for an interesting talking point on an otherwise understated dress. You can even mix up your racewear look by trying a dress with flared sleeves or a mid length hemline. No matter your pick, remember that simple elegance is key!

This gorgeous dress from Zimmermann follows the bell sleeve trend and elongates the leg. This mini dress is sure to turn heads with its embroidered mirror bead embellishments that really catch the light!
