This years Belmont Stakes will bring upon the highest fashion that is has showcased in years. With the hope of a Triple Crown winner through California Chrome, the grandstand will not have a dry seat in the house. Ladies and gents will all be dressing their best for the big day, snapping photos to save the memories of being on the grounds where history could be written.
Media and press will be on its toes running around trying to capture the social aspect of the day as well as the horse racing athletics. Fashion at the Races will have two photographers on the day to make sure we don’t miss any well dressed ladies and gents.
As the Official Timekeeper of the Triple Crown and of course the most fashionable watch at the races, Longines will again be looking for the Most Elegant Woman on the Day. Our Bri Mott will be walking the grounds choosing the best dressed on site and inviting them to the competition that will take place at 1:00pm right outside the paddock (by the white seating area). At 1pm the Top 20 will be chosen and celebrity judges will choose the Longines Most Elegant Woman and she will be awarded a Conquest Classic Timepiece.
Don’t forget the major trend on the day: Monochrome in Black and White style. Bring the inspiration from the metropolitan area that is New York City! Become a New Yorker on the day and grab that starbucks, dress in black, and walk like your heading to the most important meeting. 😉 Check out our Belmont Lookbook for inspiration!
Different ways to sport the monochrome trend are full black or full white, or mix and the two in a modern print. Want to get a little crazy? Mix Black and white prints that would most of the time seem opposite. For example: A polka-dot top paired with a black and white striped skirt. If you want a pop of color, add a birght colored clutch or pair of shoes. A bold lip color or nail color is also a great way to set your monochrome outfit off!
Cheers to the chance at a Triple Crown Winner! Good luck to California Chrome and all his connections. We at Fashion at the Races will be rooting for you….in a fashionable way! 😉
