What to wear for every outdoor occasion, from Ascot to your Jubilee street party
Silk dress, £375, Lisou; Silk headband, £35.99, Isabel Manns; Velvet and rattan bag, £465, Mehry Mu; Handmade monel metal sunglasses, £100, Zan Zan; Patent leather heels, £195, LK BennettWith relaxed rules about hats (a base that’s as small as 10 cms in diameter is permitted as are 10 cms wide hairbands, unlike fascinators, which are not officially allowed) and bare legs, dressing for the Royal Enclosure feels less intimidating than it used to.
