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 little black dress is anything but boring. Featuring long sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline, this dress from Manning Cartell is the perfect blend of sophisticated and edgy. The graphic motif lace embroidered onto sheer tulle is a playful way to work black on black.
Zimmermann Karmic Mirror Dress
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!

If you want to try out the white on white trend, this Camilla and Marc dress is the ideal starting point! With its elegant off shoulder neckline, this dress is just calling out for statement jewelry to emphasise the decolletage.

The Double Crepe Charlee Dress from Yeojin Bae is the embodiment of sophistication. Featuring an off shoulder neckline, cutout at the bustline and side leg slit, this dress is so flattering! It’s perfectly paired with a simple pair of black heels.

If you prefer something a little more feminine, this Alice McCall number is flirty and ready for Spring. With a subtle cinched in waist, this dress falls on the body in a beautiful way. I love the satin shoulder ties and lace detailing which adds interest to the look.
