It is time for a day at the races and next up on the calendar is the Sun Met, taking place at the Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town this Saturday.
The theme for this year is African Luxury: Precious Metals, inspired by opulence and all things luxurious.
As usual, this edition of a day at the races is not so much a celebration of the races than it is of the fashion, and we expect that both racing enthusiasts and fashionistas will be dressed to the nines.
Unfortunately, one thing we know for sure is that we are bound to see the same old fashion faux pas we do year after year.
Frankly it’s time to put a stop to it or at least attempt to with these tips.
The number of dress styles out there can be quite overwhelming so the process of elimination can be useful in selecting the perfect one for you. First up on the list is the common ‘mermaid’ dress shape, as worn by Lee-Ann Liebenberg at last year’s Sun Met. Yes, this is a classic shape but 2019 calls for newness, which means out with the 1950’s look and in with a more pleasantly surprising look.
Another thing to avoid is wearing a dated silhouette as worn by Minnie Dlamini-Jones who looked more like a dancing with the stars contestant than the fashion icon we all would love her to be.
