5 Fashion Secrets for Surviving Spring Racing Season in Style
High heel protectors are a must-have for a day on the lawn this Spring Racing season. With the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival just around the corner, now’s the time to get your fashion secrets and essentials sorted so you can enjoy the day without a single wardrobe worry.
1) Plan your underwear as carefully as your outfit
Nothing ruins a fabulous frock faster than visible straps, awkward double-boob from a strapless bra, or knickers that cut in all the wrong places. The secret is smooth, seamless and invisible.
- Hide bra straps with Bra Clips.
- Go strap-free with an Invisible Bra for lift, cleavage and zero slippage.
- Choose Nudi Knickers – side-seam-free, barely-there nude for a flawless, VPL-free finish.
Invisible bra application tips
- Apply to clean, dry, moisturiser-free skin.
- Bend forward slightly, position cups, then use the centre clasp to control cleavage.
- Smooth edges firmly and allow a minute to set before dressing.
Care and re-use
After wear, gently hand wash the inner adhesive with mild soap and cool water, air dry adhesive-side up and reapply the protective films. Proper care helps maintain stickiness for multiple wears.
2) Keep it classy with fashion tape
A hint of cleavage is chic, but showing off the lot isn’t the brief. Fashion tape is your best friend for keeping necklines, bust panels and wrap dresses perfectly in place while you sip champagne trackside.
- Tame wardrobe malfunctions with our famous Fashion Tape – keeps fabric on fabric or fabric on skin for a polished, stay-put look.
3) Treat your feet kindly
Race day means hours on your feet. Forget blisters, burning arches and toe rub – the right foot protection keeps you comfy from the first race to the final photo.
- Heel Guards cushion heels for all-day comfort.
- Gel Foot Cushions (100% silicone) ease forefoot burn in stilettos.
- Toe Cushions protect against rubbing and blisters in sandals and toe-post styles.
4) Protect your heels on the lawn
Piercing the turf with stilettos is risky for limbs and shoes – and clods of grass on your heels isn’t the chicest look.
- High Heel Protectors from SECRET WEAPONS are diamond-faceted heel gems that cap stilettos to stop them sinking into grass, gravel or firm sand. Available in crystal clear and black, the patent-pending fitting system accommodates heels from 6 mm to 13 mm.
How to fit high heel protectors
- Confirm heel tip diameter (6–13 mm).
- Align protector with heel tip and press on firmly until snug.
- Test on a soft surface before heading out. Remove after the event and wipe clean.
5) Don’t be a Cinderella
When the last race is run, you’ll be dreaming of slipping out of your heels – but barefoot on the track isn’t a vibe. Pack a foldable pair to glide home in comfort.
- Our lightweight, handbag-friendly Fold Up Ballet Flats are the no-stress solution for getting home in style.
Race-day checklist
- Invisible Bra + Nudi Knickers matched to your outfit colour.
- Fashion Tape strips pre-cut and packed.
- Heel Guards or Gel Foot Cushions fitted before you leave.
- High Heel Protectors in your clutch for lawns and gravel.
- Fold Up Ballet Flats for the trip home.
- Mini pack of safety pins and a compact mirror for quick fixes.
Fit notes and sizing
- Invisible Bra: choose your usual cup size. If between sizes, size down for a sleeker edge seal.
- Nudi Knickers: pick your normal knicker size for a smooth, seam-free finish.
- High Heel Protectors: measure the heel tip width; select the protector that matches your diameter range (6–13 mm).
