FASHIONS ON THE FIELD

Judging Criteria

LADIES

Style and originality

Important for a contestant to have their own style. It’s nice to see someone put an outfit together which allows their personality to shine through. The fashion judges will be looking for an Autumn appropriate ensemble. This would include sleeves, (cap, 3/4 ), closed-toe or peep-toe shoes, hosiery and gloves. For the Classic category – consider an outfit that is timeless and elegantly coordinated.

Appropriateness of the outfit for the individual

Dress with your body shape and age in mind. Exposed shoulders and cleavage are not true Ladies Racewear.

Attention to detail with accessories

This is a very important one! You could have a beautiful dress, but it will appear too simple if you don’t accessorise it properly. Give attention to your hat, bag and jewellery.

Understanding and interpretation of the current fashion trends

Be on-trend with what is happening in the fashion world always ensuring that you adapt this to your body shape and personality.

Grooming and deportment

Be on-trend with what is happening in the fashion world always ensuring that you adapt this to your body shape and personality.

Millinery

Will be judged on Style & Design – Match to the outfit & Quality Workmanship. Millinery should make a clear fashion statement yet fully compliment the outfit. Style and Design should demonstrate originality and be appropriate for the season. As this is Autumn, definitely no straw or sinamay. Felt, feathers, silks and Leather are all appropriate for the season.

MENS

Style and originality

Fashion with an edge – stand-alone look! The outfit should be individualised with accessories such as a hat, lapel flower, cufflinks or pocket-handkerchief. As the season is Autumn a Jacket and Tie are essential.
