Race day in Ireland is one of the most anticipated events on the social calendar — and the fashion stakes are just as high as the racing ones. Whether you're heading to Leopardstown, Galway Races, or a local meet, nailing your look from head to toe is everything. Here's your complete guide to race day dressing, with everything available at The Finishing Touch.
The Fascinator: Your Crown Jewel No race day look is complete without a fascinator. Go dramatic with our Feather Bloom Fascinator for maximum impact, keep it classic with the Silver Elegance Fascinator, or add sparkle with our Diamanté Detailed Fascinator. The rule of thumb: the bigger the occasion, the bolder the headpiece.
The Bag: Small but Mighty Race day calls for a clutch — practical enough to carry your essentials, beautiful enough to be part of the outfit. Our Crystal Evening Clutch, Golden Swan Crystal Clutch, and Gold Shimmer Clutch Bag are all perfect contenders. Match your metals to your accessories for a polished, put-together finish.
The Shoes: Style That Lasts the Day You'll be on your feet for hours, so choose wisely. A block heel or mid heel gives you height without the pain — our Faux Suede Block Heel Sandal and Mid Heel Sandal are both race day-proven. For something more daring, our Gem Embellished Slingback Pointed Heel is a showstopper.
The Finishing Touches Pearl hair accessories, diamanté clips, and a tiara hairband can elevate even the simplest outfit. Layer them subtly or go all-out — race day is the one occasion where more is always more.
