The Spring Racing Carnival is a time of great excitement for locals and travelers from across the globe. Horse racing enthusiasts enjoy a warm, exciting atmosphere as they bet on the races and gather for social events. This prestigious event has grown to feature not only the beautiful coats and physiques of prime racing horses, but also the most marvelous fashions for men.
Each Racing Carnival brings with it an explosion of chic new fashions! Fashion exhibits and shows feature the latest trends and styles, and even those who are not into the racing aspect of The Carnivals attend. Piquing the interest of fashion lovers and everyday tourists alike, each event is wildly popular. When we think of the fashions of Australian men, the classics tend to come to mind- a white or blue polo/shirt with spread collar and casual slacks. The more ‘bold’ among us may choose a splash of color in the form of stripes or checks, but this year’s events are truly taking ’traditional' up a notch.
Fail-safe conformity can indeed help one prevent a fashion faux pas as they enjoy The Carnivals, but what are the fashion gurus of the world displaying? A sharp sway toward individualism! Beautiful and bold fashion statements will be made with this season’s selection of separates. Ranging from casual to elegant, these separates can merge together into an endless array of beautiful looks. For an unique look some men will use websites that allow you to customize your look similar to InStitchu. The game is changing, and the fashion elite will certainly be sporting their best looks during the events.
With heavy European influence, designers are featuring combinations of textures, including wool, cotton, silk, and linen. Many will choose to give their look a ’signature' touch with a playful colorful hanky, a patterned sock weave or colorful touch, or interesting tie that draws the eye. As is in season, pastel greens, yellows, oranges, and pinks will certainly be in attendance for this year’s Spring Racing Carnival.
Some helpful hints for beginning men fashion enthusiasts include the elements of balance. If you have a bold shirt, for example, you will want a less impactful tie or accessory. The reverse is also true, as men can easily liven up a plain shirt with pops of color, texture, and patterns. Whatever you do, keep it classy- this aspect of the Spring Racing Carnival doesn’t involve blue jeans! Start with a bright shirt, add a modest tie, and you'll be well on your way. Perhaps a quiet shirt and knit tie that creates some drama in your look suits you better? Don’t be afraid to express yourself with fashion this season!
For those who wish to attend in true urbane style, blue is in and makes for a classic suit choice. Complementary colors can be incorporated via accessories to maintain some individuality and unique style. On that note, we all know that accessories make the outfit! Dare to go a little bolder with light hues and pastels. Dream big with denim accents and combinations of other textures! Whether you’re attending The Carnivals for sport or to experience the latest in fashion, doing so in true style will heighten your enjoyment!
