Keep warm and be 'cool' at the races!

Your tickets are booked, racing tips memorised and the outfit is sorted. All that’s needed now are those few finishing touches - the essential accessories to ensure style and practicality for a day at the races.
 
Handy Hints
Don’t let your hands fall victim to the cold weather. Leather gloves are the stylish solution for racegoers wishing to keep the feeling in their fingers this winter! Girls can add a splash of colour with Ted Baker’s pink-bow pair (£49). Fellas will love Jaeger’s black leather numbers with their cosy sheepskin lining (£99).

Handbag Help
For the ladies, the all-important handbag can make or a break an outfit. Try Chloe’s chain-handled shoulder bag (£1,325) in a pretty hue of winter white. The long chain handle means it can perch on your shoulder leaving your hands free to cheer on your chosen horse or cradle a winter warmer. But bags aren’t just for the girls, boys can make a statement too with a manbag! There’s nothing feminine about Austin Reed’s understated brown leather satchel (£169).

Prick Up Your Ears 
Blustery breezes mean your ears could be left facing a cold weather battle. Fans of their notorious boots will need no persuading to keep their ears covered with Ugg’s sheepskin ear muffs (£75). For the men, channel a dapper Humphrey Bogart in Lanvin’s rabbit-felt fedora (£245).

Snood Alert 
Gone are the days of the humble scarf, the new word in neckwear is snood. Boys can keep their necks cosy with this grey chunky snood from Cos (£39). For the ladies try out Hobbs’ faux fur tippet and you’ll be the height of sophistication (£45).
