Why I love Ascot

Ascot is a really good place to be in right now. The epithome of English cool, each year this little English town celebrates its annual party. The dress code is implacable. I think it's great having these rules for one day. It's like going to a wedding, but you can wear white! A perfect ocassion to wear hats, I guess everyone should go there at least once.

Royal Enclosure Dress Code

Her Majesty�s Representative wishes to point out that only formal day dress with a hat or substantial fascinator will be acceptable.Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and / or mini skirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour. Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat which must be worn at all times when you are in the Royal Enclosure other than within your private box or facility�. Note that box balconies, restaurant terraces and gardens will be deemed to be �within� the facility.
Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal national dress of their country or Service dress. Those not complying with the dress code will be asked to leave the Royal Enclosure and will be relieved of their Royal Enclosure badge. (www.ascot.co.uk)

I love the black Philip Treacy. It looks so elegant! The girl in white looks very fresh and nice, but I think she is not respecting the dress code, what do you think?

Ascot es el mejor lugar en el que estar estos d�as. English cool en estado puro, cada a�o se celebra all� la fiesta nacional de los caballos, digo, de los sombreros. La etiqueta es implacable, pero yo creo que est� bien, solo por un d�a, es incluso divertido.

Etiqueta

Solo ser�n aceptables vestidos de d�a formales, con un sombrero o similar. Los escotes halter, palabra de honor, tirantes finos (menos de una pulgada) y minifaldas se considerar�n inapropiadas. El est�mago debe ir cubierto, y los trajes de pantal�n deben ser largos y del mismo material y color. Los hombres deben llevar ropa de d�a, blanca o gris, y es imprescindible que a�adan un chaleco a su look. Mientras est�n en el recinto, todos los hombres deben llevar sombrero. Los balcones, las terrazas de los restaurantes y los jardines estar�n exentos de estas reglas. Los visitantes internacionales podr�n llevar ropa t�pica de su pa�s o vestido de servicio. Los que no cumplan con la etiqueta ser�n invitados a irse. (www.ascot.co.uk)

Me encanta como va la chica de blanco, pero creo que rompe m�s de una regla con ese atuendo, �vosotros qu� pens�is?
