Royal Ascot on Ladies' Day is the perfect excuse to find a good hat and dress up. On no other day of the year can you have quite so much fun - when else does anything go in the head wear department (providing it complies with all the necessary rules)
"For us, Ascot really is Christmas, New Year, everything, big birthdays, everything rolled into one. It’s the most important day in a British milliner’s calendar," says Stephen Jones. He was joined by fellow milliners Piers Atkinson and William Chambers, as well as Virginia Bates, Clare Balding, John McCririck and Amanda Wakeley on the most important of all the race days: Ladies’ Day.
"I love that you have everyone making an effort. It’s a bit of a feel-good factor in a time when everyone needs it," adds Wakeley. And while most talk naturally surrounds what people are wearing on their heads, John McCririck is more concerned about what people are wearing on their feet.
"Now we are going to launch a campaign. We are going to do away with wearing high heels forever," he chimes. From huge feathered fascinators and innovative tin-lid creations, to neon bright numbers and some dainty hats too.
