Ladies Day at Bath Races

Ladies Day is a highlight of the Bath racing calendar and the perfect opportunity to showcase a coordinated and stylish look. It’s a celebration of fashion as much as racing, with guests embracing elegant dresses, tailored suits and statement headwear that reflect personal style and confidence.

Choosing the right hat for Ladies Day is essential. Your headwear should complement your outfit in colour, proportion and overall balance. Whether you prefer a refined fascinator, a structured hatinator or a more dramatic wide-brim design, the right piece will elevate your entire look and create a polished, race-ready finish.

Bath’s summer race meetings often mean warmer weather, so lightweight materials such as sinamay and fine straws are popular choices. Soft neutrals, bold brights and coordinated tonal styling all work beautifully for this vibrant event. Our expert guidance ensures your hat enhances your outfit without overpowering it.

We offer both bespoke hat design and hat hire for Bath Ladies Day, allowing you to choose a completely custom piece or select from our extensive in-store collection. With professional fittings and one-to-one advice, we help you achieve a look that feels effortless, elegant and perfectly suited to the occasion.
