What to wear to Cheltenham Races in March | The Season 2024
One of the first events of the British Social Season is the Cheltenham Festival. If you are wondering what to wear to Cheltenham Races in March, we have a few tips and ideas to keep in mind. We recently released all of the dates for the 2024 British Social Season in our renowned guide, which has featured on the BBC, and it is time to look forward to the events that lie ahead. When planning what to wear to Cheltenham Festival, you need to be mindful of both the weather and the type of event that you are attending.
Firstly, the weather can throw anything at you at this time of year. It has snowed at Cheltenham Festival and also been very stormy in the past. You may luck in and experience sunshine and clear blue skies – here’s hoping – but, even then, we suggest wrapping up warm.
So when you are planning what to wear to Cheltenham Races in March, we recommend a warm, stylish coat, with accessories on hand like gloves and a scarf. If you want to shop your entire look in one place, Holland Cooper has an excellent selection of clothing and accessories that are suitable for Cheltenham Festival.
In terms of hats, this event is unlike the uber glamorous flat racing occasions where spectacular fascinators can enjoy an outing. When it comes to thinking about your hat when planning what to wear to Cheltenham Races in March, consider a trilby, flat cap or wintery headpiece.
Prestbury Park is at the heart of National Hunt Racing and Cheltenham Festival is an occasion that welcomes a more discreet style in terms of fashion, which is usually focused on channeling a countryside chic vibe, whilst also being practical too.
Brands such as Holland Cooper, Fairfax and Favor, Barbour and Catherine Walker are showcased. Most opt for muted colours, with tweed, camel, black and beige a popular choice. However, there is nothing wrong with going for a vibrant winter coat if you want to stand out from the crowd.
