Whether you’re attending for the thrill of the races or simply to see and be seen, get ready to turn heads with your style at the 2024 Betway Summer Cup. From elegant hats to sleek, statement outfits, our style and beauty guide will help you navigate the tips and tricks to ensuring your outfit is as bold as your bets.
Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned racegoer, picking the perfect outfit is just as important as picking the perfect horse.
Go bold and bright
The Betway Summer Cup is all about vibrancy and making a statement. This is the perfect excuse to wear that bright, daring outfit that’s been lingering in your wardrobe, so don’t shy away from eye-catching colours and prints. If going bright is not your cup of tea, opting for pastel colours will do the trick. Wearing light, breathable fabrics will ensure you feel and look comfortable for a day under the sun.
Wearing a fascinator or a wide-brimmed hat is predictable for an event like the Betway Summer Cup, but you can make the look a bit more playful with feather, floral, or ribbon detailing. Want to make a statement, but hats aren’t your taste? Consider a statement headband, hair clip, or any other hair accessory.
Step in style and comfort
For an event like this, comfort is key. So, opt for a pair of heels that will carry you throughout the day. Block heels are a great option, as they provide style and comfort. If you don’t want to commit to block heels, but still want to be comfortable, kitten heels are the next best thing. Trendy and comfortable.
Accessorise! Accessorise!
Accessories are girl’s best friend, so go all out! Statement earrings, bold necklaces, face-framing sunglasses, a sleek clutch or crossbody, will all bring your outfit to life. Fashion has no rules, so go big!
Hair and beauty
An elegant updo or soft wavey hairdo are popular choices for a day at the races. Add flair to the hairdo with accessories such as decorative clips and pins, or a headband.
Go for a fresh, dewy look with minimal makeup. Add some personality to your makeup look with a smokey eye or a bright eyeshadow, a bold lip colour and some blush.
