We’reentering a fresh era of

sophistication that’s perfectly suited

to the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

There’s so much more to it than

dress + fascinator. This year, we’re

taking cues from Jacquemus’ viral

supersized straw hat, the hyper-

feminine ensembles at Valentino

and Chanel, and Simone Rocha’s

use of elbow-length gloves. Even

the rise and rise of Meghan Markle.

This is elegance ready to be worn

in the real world and at the races.

THE

STRAW BRIM

Spearheaded by

French label Jacquemus,

the exaggerated straw

hat has reached new

heights (or rather widths).

Pick a natural tone and

coordinate with your outfit.
