Cheltenham Fashion: Tweed, Tailoring and Traditions

One of the biggest meets of the racing calendar is Cheltenham Festival, a four day event which shines a light on traditional British fashion, with all racegoers making the effort to embrace our heritage and traditional countryside attire. From polished tailoring, premium tweed and endless green tones, Cheltenham fashion is truly one of a kind. Unlike other race day events, such as Ascot or Aintree, the fashion focus is all about the outerwear.

Whether it’s your first Cheltenham or you’re a regular, investing in classic tailoring is a must. From jackets and coats, to scarves and gloves, our range of premium womenswear has got everything you need to create the perfect race day outfit.

Race Day Style: Festival Fashion Must-Haves

Here at Welligogs, we believe creating the perfect race day look comes down to all the finer details that combine style and practicality. If you are attending a winter meet, like Cheltenham, the weather can be hit and miss, so we recommend opting for something warm and comfortable. Thankfully, our premium range of women’s clothing is designed for just that.

If you’re looking for a jacket or coat, all of our pieces lend themselves perfectly to race day style. Opt for a statement piece like a wool jacket or go practical with a wax coat that can be dressed up or down.

Once you’ve picked your denim, tweed and boots, it’s time to accessorise. Our collection of women’s hats are not only practical for the unpredictable British weather, particularly at Cheltenham Racecourse, but they also effortlessly elevate your look. If you’re unsure what style to go for this year, take a look at our hat buying for Cheltenham guide.

If hats aren’t your thing, don’t underestimate the power of a simple leather glove. Add another dimension to your race day outfit with a pair of premium gloves to help pull your final look together and compliment your boots and handbag.
