Race day ready from the lawn to the last race

A day at the races means hours of standing, strolling and sinking heels into soft grass, and the right accessories keep you effortless through all of it. We designed our heel protectors and foldable flats to keep you steady: slip the stoppers on before you step onto the lawn so heels glide instead of sink, and tuck the flats into your clutch for the moment your feet have had enough. It is the difference between leaving early and dancing through to the final race.

Dresses that behave through a long carnival day

Spring carnival fashion leans on plunging necklines, cut outs and strappy silhouettes, exactly the styles that need a little help to stay put:

  • Boob tape and stick on bras give lift with nothing on show.
  • Fashion tape locks a neckline or hem in place through wind and movement.
  • Chicken fillets and nipple covers add the final touch of shape and coverage.

Pack the kit once and it carries you through Derby Day, the Cup and the Oaks. For more, read our 5 fashion secrets for surviving spring racing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop my heels sinking into the grass at the races?

We have all watched a stiletto vanish into the lawn at the track, and it is no fun in a fitted dress and fascinator. Pop our clear heel protectors onto your heel tips before you step onto the grass and they spread the weight so you glide across the lawn instead of sinking. They are reusable and tuck straight into your clutch, and our guide on high heel protectors for grass events walks you through it.

What should I wear under a fitted race day dress?

A fitted race day frock looks its best over a smooth, seamless base that skims rather than grips, so light shapewear is your secret weapon for a clean silhouette. It gently shapes the tummy, waist and hips with no visible lines under your dress, even in the brightest trackside light. Have a look through our body shapers to find the right level of smoothing for your outfit.

How do I keep my neckline or hem in place in the wind?

Spring racing and a breezy afternoon go hand in hand, which is exactly when a neckline gapes or a hemline lifts at the wrong moment. A few strips of fashion tape hold fabric gently against your skin or itself, so your dress stays put no matter how strong the trackside gust. Keep a roll in your bag from our fashion tape range and step out with confidence.

What are good backup shoes for when my heels hurt at the races?

A long day on your feet at the track means heels eventually call it quits, and that is where a pair of foldable flats saves the day. They fold down small enough to live in your bag all afternoon, then slip on the moment you need relief so you never have to go barefoot on the lawn. See how easily they fit into any race day look in our blog on how foldable flats fit into every occasion.

How do I add shape under a cut out race day dress?

Cut out and asymmetric race day dresses are stunning but tricky, since a normal bra simply will not work around the gaps. Boob tape is the answer here, lifting and shaping exactly where you need it while leaving the cut out sections bare and bra free. Our guide on how to use boob tape for every neckline shows you how to tape around even the boldest designs.

How do I stay comfortable all day at the races?

Comfort is what gets you from the first race to the last without wishing you were home, so plan for tired feet before they happen. Slip gel inserts into your heels for all day cushioning, then keep foldable flats in your bag for when you have had enough of the stilettos. Our shoe inserts collection has the cushioning that keeps you smiling trackside from morning to last drinks.
