Top Ten Tips for Ladies Day

1. Colour blocking is what it's all about this season. Loud colour combinations will show confidence and will ensure an eye catching outfit.

2. A bright hat or headpiece will complete any look and these statement pieces are a must have for ladies day.

3. Wear what you are comfortable in and don't be afraid to show your own individual style.

4. Comfortable wedges are the ideal footwear for a day at the races as they incorporate both style and comfort.

5. A colour coordinated shawl or wrap is the perfect fashion accessory that will have you prepared for the changeable Irish weather.

6. If you are wearing loud or colourful prints make sure you keep accessories to a minimum.

7. A clutch handbag is a stylish bag that can bring you from daywear to eveningwear and so is a great accessory for a day at the races.

8. Grooming and presentation is very important - Pay attention to detail and don't forget the manicure and pedicure.

9. A long-lasting makeup is a good idea - Alternatively bring a powder with you so you can touch up throughout the day. Remember your make up should be day appropriate.

10. Smile - it goes with everything and it never goes out of style.
