From Rack To Racetrack, Get Your Last Minute Easter Racing Outfit Sorted!

Because we can’t be the only ones who have left it to the last minute…

The Easter long weekend is mere hours away from kicking off (not that we are counting) and that means that it is almost time for the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival and the Clare Easter Races… Time to panic about what to wear! Or not. Because the girls from Racewear Carousel popped into Love Affair Boutique for a styling session and to bring us this, a look at some last minute Easter racing outfits. Our saviours…

LOOK #1 Cover Up
Dress: Staple the Label
Top: August St
Leather flower headband: Adorn Collection

This outfit was a bit of fun because strapless dresses and tops are usually a ‘no-no’ for the races, especially if you are entering Fashions on the Field (FOTF). We loved the Autumn colours in the dress so we decided to mix things up and try adding the long sleeve top both tucked in and left out. How great that this dress can be worn 3 times and each with a different look. The handmade leather flower headband matches perfectly and is an easy headpiece to wear for those who want a no fuss option that will be comfortable on all day long.

LOOK #2 Box Pleat Princess
Skirt: By Johnny
Top: Elliatt
Lace Headband: Adorn Collection

This outfit is fit for a princess! Navy and white is such a classic combination and if the weather turns out to be a little cooler than expected a cape or jacket will go perfectly over the top. The zig-zag pattern on the skirt makes a bold statement and paired with the little white lace headband it’s a cute little ensemble that also a bit of fun!

LOOK #3 Ruffled Angles 
Top: Asilio
Skirt: Piper Lane
Millinery: Adorn Collection
Love Affair Boutique

Both Oakbank and Clare have The Races SA ‘Fashion at the Races’ competition for racegoers to enter with some great prizes on offer and the opportunity to progress to the Grand Final in May. With that in mind we took this striking black and white percher, which is bold yet feminine, and found an Asilio top that complimented it perfectly. Adding a bit of colour with the skirt keeps it looking less like a Derby Day outfit.

LOOK #4 Golden Goddess
Top: Talulah
Pants: BC
Millinery: Adorn Collection
Heels & necklace available in store

We were excited that both the pants and top were on sale for this ensemble. A dash of nude and gold takes this outfit from evening to racewear just by adding in a few accessories.

LOOK #5 Eclectic Edge
Dress: Ministry of Style
Millinery: Adorn Collection
Heels & Clutch available in store

For someone looking at wearing an outfit with more ‘edge’ we put together a veiled leather flower crown with black accessories and on trend dress.
