WHAT TO WEAR TO THE RACES

If it’s been a while since you dressed up, your decade-old suit is sitting comfortably at the back of your wardrobe collecting dust, or your shoes are still tucked away hoping for a revival. This is a reminder to check your outfit status — it’s not too late for a wardrobe refresh for the big day.

It’s true; ladies’ colourful dresses and oversized fascinators often take the spotlight, but your Cup week style is just as important. So what should men wear to the races? For a week full of exceptional racing, wining, dining, lunching and entertaining, we’ve put together a carefully curated edit of our favourite staples you can mix and match with other suit separates, guaranteed to make you look and feel the part.

CASCADES SPORTS JACKET

Whether you decide to step out in statement or opt for a more laid-back look, the Cascades Sports Jacket is a versatile piece you can pair with just about anything. Constructed from a lightweight wool-linen blend and four internal pockets, its smart and sophisticated tailoring will see you through all corners of Cup week with style.

OWEN VALLEY

Another suit jacket perfect for warmer days and maximum breathability, our Owen Valley men’s utility style jacket is woven from the smoothest Supima cotton yarn. Designed together with our other Supima suit separates, you can introduce individuality and flair to a perfectly tailored jacket.

COVE ROAD JACKETS

The Cove Road. One of our most anticipated original fit jackets made for ultimate comfort in its deconstructed design. Its natural shoulder shape and single-breasted closure suit both relaxed and formal settings. Perfect unbuttoned for sit-down events calling for a casual jacket or buttoned up for trackside mingling.

COROMANDEL LINEN SHIRTS

The Coromandel linen shirt is a Cup week staple, and light enough to layer under a jacket. Try our mens white linen shirt for the perfect hybrid between relaxed and formal, breathable and comfortable.

OXFORD SHIRTS

A worldwide favourite and a Rodd & Gunn staple, the Oxford shirt is a classic men's button-up shirt every man needs in his wardrobe rotation. Come spring-time racing, Oxfords are a versatile, simple, and incredibly well-fitting option for all-day comfort.

MURPHY'S ROAD CHELSEA BOOT

What’s being dubbed well-dressed without a premium men's leather boot to top off your outfit? Our Murphys Road Chelsea Boots are a Race Day essential. Crafted from high-quality, genuine leather and a durable rubber outsole, they’ll have you walking with confidence between table to lawn all day long.
