A print or a pattern can really make an outfit. Whenever I want my outfit to make a statement, it’s always one of my go-tos, particularly when it’s bold like this pinstripe suit by Louis Vuitton. I’ve waxed lyrical about my love of suiting for event wear, so I needed no convincing to wear this particular look to this year’s Caulfield Cup. I was on reporting duties once again for 7Racing so I wanted something that would work well on camera and the strong colour contrast on the suit ticked all the right boxes. I decided to wear the double breasted jacket buttoned up which gave this look a much stronger silhouette, and worked back with the matching pants it felt sleek and modern.
Headwear is always one of my key considerations for a race day look and this pillbox hat by Nerida Winter added a gorgeous feminine touch. Given the suit is already so vivid and bright, I needed the rest of my accessories to ground the look so I opted for a black Louis Vuitton clutch and a heels with a floral embellishment by Tony Bianco. Wearing more subdued hues when it came to my accessories really allowed the colour and pattern of the suit to pop.
