You canabsolutely wear colour, usually just not strapless or anything too revealing.

Colour is fine. But make sure you are wearing a 'day dress' rather than something for night time (ie. something with straps, that isn't cut too low).
Also although you will be in the boxes, you are bound to be walking in grass at some point during the day so avoid anything with a spiky heel.

Are you going to Ellerslie or Alexandra Park, Ellerslie you can get dressed up as much as you like, don't forget your hat. Alexandra Park isn't quite so ott when it comes to fashion.

I want those dresses now, I like them both! I think the Black/blue looks much dressier and would suit the occasion better dear!

The dresses are pretty  Definitely go for the fancy hair/fascinator/hat as well. Days at the races are mega fun!

We have our Xmas function at the races every year and I go for a black dress but most are in colours. It is a dressy occasion - heels, make up etc. Quite a lot of people wear a hat. Some of the very young women with fantastic figures do the strappy dress, high heels, make up, hair done, hat whole shabang.
