V V Chapeaux's Racing Style Guide

Wondering what on earth you are going to wear next weekend for the races? V V Chapeaux, featured in this years Ascot Jump Lookbook styled by Alice Hare, may be able to give you a few tips...

“I wanted to place winter racing fashion firmly in the spotlight and challenge the notion that raceday style is confined to the summer months,” says Alice.

A velvet necklace — Our double sided velvet ribbon styled with a statement shrimp brooch is a playful yet polished detail for Jump season dressing.

Emu Feather Bag with Double Velvet Ribbon — or perhaps on a fluffy emu feather handbag detailed with even more velvet ribbon.

Featured above in Suzannah's Cumbria Duck Egg Blue Coat Dress, whether is be a shrimp choker or emu fluff handbag, they will all pair fabulously with our Clotted Cream Ombre Trilby.

Periwinkle Trilby — Pairing a velvet pussy bow with a periwinkle V V Trilby and a V V Rouleaux diamante brooch.

“Velvet, tweed, statement collars – there’s an inherent opulence to winter racing fashion that I actually find more exciting than summer dressing.” - Alice

Blue Grass Rayon Tassel on bag — If you are wanting just a subtle splash of colour amongst countryside browns and beiges, why not attach a V V tassel to your bag. Here Alice has used our Rayon Tassel in the shade Blue Grass.

Feather Burst Trilby — In love with tartan at the moment? We don't blame you! Paired with V V's Feather Burst trilby, its an effortless look for the next meet.

Brooches — V V’s brooch collection is endless - a true treasure trove. Rather than wearing just one, Alice layers a curated cluster to create a bold statement piece.

Faux Fur Hat — Our Faux Fur Clotted Cream Hat is a safe bet for those cold and windy days at the races.

Pom Pom Shoe Clip — Matching your brooch with your jewellery is an easy way to bring an outfit together.

Pink Impatience Trilby — Looking for a more polished race day look? Pairing one of our fabulous trilbies with a tailored suit for an effortlessly chic race-day ensemble.

Come and try on V V Chapeaux at V V Rouleaux, Marylebone Lane, London.
