Royal Ascot ladies fashion is a short article about what fashion means and how it is expressed at the Royal Ascot annual event, with top tips on how to wear your hat.

Introduction
There are certain dress codes required at the Royal Ascot events which are widely discussed throughout this website,
but the fashionable ladies determine their own fashion styles and express themselves in accordance with their
own interpretation of what is fashionable or not. There is really no such thing as fashion, but it is
a term that applies to a prevailing mode of expression. Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will
change more quickly than the culture as a whole.
The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe
whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of expression. The term "Royal Ascot ladies fashion" is often used
in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends. In this sense, fashions are essentially a relief from boredom,
or a distraction from important matters, for the idle rich.
The term is also frequently used in a positive sense,
as a synonym for glamour and style. In this sense, Royal Ascot ladies fashion is a sort of communal art, through which a culture
examines its notions of beauty and goodness.
Costume especially has become so linked in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more general term "costume"
has been relegated by many to only mean fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing
generally and the study of it.

Royal Ascot has thereby become a showground for fancy dress and communal art with the chance for individuals to show off
their plummage and parade themselves to the public in much the way the horses do in the parade ring. Society changes
and the annual Royal Ascot ladies parade changes as more and more attendees become more and more flamboyant in their
outlook.

Top hat tips for Royal Ascot ladies fashion
1. If you're short, don't wear a hat that's too wide. If you're tall you can get away with more.
2. Unless you have the character to get away with it, the brim of the hat shouldn't be wider than your shoulders.
3. Don't let your hat drown you.
4. If you feel comfy with your chosen hat, you will automatically look confident and good!
5. To make yourself feel more comfy in it, wear your hat around the house, down to the shops, or to work!
6. Before the day, experiment with hairpins, combs and elastic so that your hat will stay on your head.
7. Hairspray helps to stop your hat slipping in the wind.
8. The sun will hopefully be out, so make sure you pick a hat that looks good with sunglasses for your Royal Ascot ladies fashion day!
