Melbourne Cup 2021 Fashion Trends

The Melbourne Cup has once again kicked off its season and the focus is on fashion. The old school has been put on the back foot as the fashion conscious crowds flock to the city in large numbers for this year’s event. Whilst you may have your traditional t-shirts, tracksuits, coats and hats available, the fashion emphasis this season has been on smart and classy looks. Women’s clothing is all about flowy fabrics and stylish cut-offs as the look emphasizes a more feminine silhouette. Whilst men’s wear tends towards the work-out wear look with the bulk of the clothing being sported in white or blue, there have been a number of fashion tweaks which have made it more wearable for the everyday man.

Melbourne Cup 2021 fashion trends have been heavily influenced by the US election which saw Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. Although it may have been the design factor that tipped the balance, the bombast of the personality and the flair for the dramatic which defined his campaign was clearly seen in the styles that were worn throughout the competition. It was a bold move for a man who many Americans had never even heard of and his signature style had the desired effect of turning heads everywhere.

This election season, the focus is now on the governing body and how it will retain its power. Fashion conscious women are no longer afraid to express themselves and most have a desire to up the ante on the looks that they are putting on. A new dress code has been instated which states that the top hand must be tucked under the chin and the bottom hand cannot be seen above the waist. With these rules in place, we can expect an awesome season of fashion and creativity from the fashion industry in the coming years.
