Your official OOTD guide to the Dubai World Cup

As per Harvey Nichols – Dubai
On 30 March it’s the Dubai World Cup. So, here’s what to wear for a day at the races…

The Dubai World Cup is one of the biggest events on the social (and erm, sports) calendar. And it’s a kind of a big deal for any fashion lover, too. Because every year the most stylish sirens flock to Meydan Racecourse in a dress code that spells out, a day at the races.

If you’re planning on heading along, chances are you’re doing a very un-Marie Kondo thing right now and throwing everything out in a messy heap. We get it, it’s stressful. And with Gwen Stefani headlining the event in the evening, it calls for some major style considerations.

So, to help abate those cortisol levels, and because we are seasoned Dubai World Cup goers, we’ve rounded up all the hard and fast rules on how to go the distance in both style and comfort with pieces that you can shop directly from Harvey Nichols – Dubai. How much easier have we made it already for you, right?

Don’t be afraid to bring out shimmer in full force

It’s Dubai, it’s outdoor weather again, so you can bet that high shine will be out in full force. You don’t need us to confirm that it’s appropriate to wear gala-style gowns to a racecourse. Flaunt it.

Be that hot pink lady

Hollywood stars showed allegiance to pink at the Oscars this year, so it’s given the hue more power than ever. Between pastel and highlighter pink, it’s one of the biggest trends right now.

Go in for the gold

It is a competition after all. So, if you decide to play it safe with neutral tones or you want to be comfortable and wear a casual jumpsuit, punch it out with a bit of gold for that statement tick.

The star pieces that complete your outfit

Sometimes all you need is a stand-alone shoe or bag to give you that WOW factor. We think wearing shoes that you can walk in all day is a savvy choice given the amount of standing time.
