When refering to fashion at Royal Ascot, we are really talking about ladies fashion since men can pretty much wear what they want
except for jeans, tee shirts and other casual clothes. The only real exceptions are in the Royal and private enclosures
where men are restricted to a certain dress code of morning suit attire.
So, in the main, Ascot fashion is centered on what ladies are wearing at each Ascot race meeting. Fashion, as discussed
in our Royal Ascot ladies fashion page, is very subjective and is really a means of individuals expressing themselves in an
art form rather that being genuinely well styled. Style and fashion are not the same thing and one may compliment a lady's
complexion, body shape or hair style, but the other may simply be an expression of flamboyancy or showing off.
Fashion hats
In the picture above, there is clear evidence here of the "strutting one's stuff" mode of art. Here a lady has launched herself
into the possibilities of total extravagrance with this creation. Ascot fashion has tended to be much centered on the development
of art hat creations. There are regular turnouts of vegetable gardens and fruit markets appearing like marketing displays
in a shop window, on top of ladies crowns !
Ascot fashion flowers
The most popular art forms on ladies crowns are flowers. The opportunities here for creating a Covent Garden garden display
are endless. Victorian ladies were the flower fashion artists of the Ascot scene as the following few images will support.

The Ascot fashion watchers
This has become an industry almost to itself with news coverage and so called "fashion experts" keen to comment on and
put down those ladies who are prepared to expose themselves to criticism. After all, if you put a picture on public
display, then you have to expect people to comment on their likes and dislikes. One lady's fruit bowl may not be another
lady's flower collage.
So the critics form themselves into ever more effective ways of offering up their own opinions on
modern art forms often spurred on by the TV stations (including the BBC) who run various competitions on Ascot fashion hats
to see who can create the most ridiculous looking work of art.
Have fun watching at the next Royal Ascot event.
