Get Race Day Ready With Trending Ladies Day Outfits

Get Race Day Ready With Trending Ladies Day Outfits

The 2025 racing season is upon us, with Ascot kicking the season off and the Galway Races coming later this month.

We all love the excitement of the races, but the real highlight is the fashion — a runway in its own right, where bold and elegant style takes centre stage.

With Ladies' Day being such a pivotal part of the races, it can be hard to find the right dress to steal the show. We're bringing you the ultimate 2025 Trending Races Styles to help you look and feel your best this Ladies Day. 

 

1. Couture Club Feather Sleeve Cape Jumpsuit

 

 

We had to kickstart it off with this show-stopping jumpsuit from Couture Club.

This classic cream jumpsuit brings all the drama with the feathered sleeves and cape detail on the back.

The wide-leg silhouette adds sophistication while the belt adds flattering dimension to the waistline. You'll be sure to steal the show with this look.

 

2. John Charles Peplum 3D Floral Pencil Dress

 

Add a pop of vibrant colour to Ladies Day with this Peplum 3D Dress from John Charles. 

This stunning 3D floral detail dress from John Charles is flattering on all body types, thanks to its peplum waist.

The split hem on the front means you'll be comfortable and unrestricted walking around the racecourse all day. 

 

3. Caroline Kilkenny Misty V Neck Midi Dress

 

 

Sometimes, simple is better, and this V-Neck dress from Caroline Kilkenny proves just that. 

The contrasting satin design on the tie-waist and collar of this dress adds a layer of elegance.

The v-neck is both flattering and sophisticated, and the dipped hem adds subtle drama to the look. A truly sophisticated but classy look.  

 

4. John Charles Embellished Floral Asymmetric Dress

 

 

Another show-stopper from John Charles is this Floral Embellished Assymetircal Dress

An elegant and refined choice, this contrast tone dress has a fit-and-flare silhouette that accentuates the figure and gives an hourglass shape to the body.

This dress balances glamour with sophistication, perfect for Ladies Day. 

 

5. Monessa Joan Ailbhe Top and Saibh Trouser Set

 

 

If dresses aren't up your street, we have the perfect alternative with this trouser suit from Monessa Joan

This luxurious satin set is not only beautiful, but made by an Irish Designer. The top is asymmetrical and offers debatable sleeves to customise your look or switch it up for other events.

After the races, you can reuse both these pieces separately to create new looks - a practical choice for any wardrobe. 

 

6.  Role Mode Lares Cape Detail Feather Dress

 

 

Role Mode is taking glamour to the next level with this dramatic red Feather Detail Cape Dress

This flattering pencil dress features an eye-catching feather detail belt and a removable long-sleeve cape detail.

The high collar on the cape adds a touch of elegance to this already beautiful dress. Rewear it again with or without the cape for a whole new look. 

 

7. Kevan Jon Emma Corsage Satin Dress

 

 

Next up in our list of race day outfits, we bring you this Corsage Satin Dress from Kevin Jon. 

As you can see, capes are huge this season; they bring an air of sophistication, making them perfect for Ladies' Day.

This beautiful satin dress features a striking corsage on the front and also has a detachable cape that sits perfectly on the waistline. 

 

8. Couture Club Feather Sleeve Pencil Midi Dress

 

 

Finishing off strong, we have this Feather Detail Pencil Dress from Couture Club. 

This vibrant fuchsia pink dress is eye-catching on colour alone, but the feathered sleeves add another dimension. The pencil dress is finished off with a flattering belt at the waistline. This dress combines elegance with bold glamour, and we are in love with it.
