There's nothing more inspiring than standing out while abiding by a dress code. With the most formal event in the British calendar upon us again, the best dressed at the Royal Ascot are artfully showing that following the rules of the races doesn't have to mean blending in. 

The bright colours have been mirroring the bright summer days, and every kind of fascinator or hat has been on display. Eye-catching patterns come in all colours and formations, with bold-coloured accessories completing the best outfits. Though fuchsia seems to be the hue of the moment, monochromatic looks still stand out—as shown by the Duchess of Cambridge who opted for a stylish spotted dress by Alessandra Rich and a hat by Sally-Ann Provan. Texture breaks up many of the most stylish looks, from feather detailing to metallic fascinators. Whether you're entering the enclosure or need inspiration for wedding guest dressing, the Ascot fashion crowd provides solid inspiration for formal dressing. 

Keep scrolling to see our favourite Ascot outfits of 2022 thus far.
