MODERN RACE DAY OUTFITS: THE ART OF TAILORING
For those seeking an alternative to dresses, modern tailoring offers a compelling approach to Spring Racing style.

Cream tailoring offers a fresh perspective for spring, while deep navy provides a timeless alternative with enduring versatility.
For a refined monochromatic look, explore the Chase Blazer and Chase Wide Leg Pant.

RACE DAY SHOES AND ACCESSORIES
Accessories bring definition to a race day outfit. Considered footwear, sculptural jewellery and refined handbags complement the overall silhouette, adding distinction without overwhelming the look.

BUILDING A SPRING RACING WARDROBE BEYOND CARNIVAL
The most considered approach to Spring Racing dressing is to invest in pieces that extend beyond a single event. A tailored blazer can be worn with denim or refined separates, while an elegant maxi dress can transition into evening occasions with a change of accessories.
Versatility, thoughtful design and enduring silhouettes allow occasionwear to become a lasting part of the wardrobe rather than a purchase reserved for one date on the calendar.
Discover CAMILLA AND MARC's approach to modern occasion dressing through a considered selection of dresses, blazers, suiting, matching sets and accessories.
