If you’re heading to the races this summer, chances are the majority of ladies will be wearing women’s dresses, oversized hats and heels. Make sure you stand out from the crowd with your perfect outfit from River Island.

With a dresses collection that arguably beats its rivals, River Island offers all you need for a day at the races. A floral dress is perhaps an obvious choice, but a good one. Try a structured peplum dress to bring the perennial print up to date.

Prints are guaranteed to turn heads – from polka dots to hearts and scarf prints; you’ll find them all in River Island’s summer collection. Add some of their heels and a clutch bag and you’re good to go.

Peplum dresses are a key summer trend, and skater dresses are another key shape for summer. Try a pastel lace skater dress to tick off three of summer’s biggest trends.

If you’re feeling bold, ditch the dress code and go for something a little different. A co-ordinated shorts suit is just the ticket to get you noticed, try a bold floral print for a fresh approach to smart style. Alternatively, a pleated maxi skirt makes another chic change from a dress. Tuck in a blouse and add a light blazer for an effortlessly smart look.

 Whatever your style, you’re sure to find a winning look for a day at the races at River Island. Shop online at Riverisland.com and have your whole outfit delivered direct to your door.
