God, I love this tradition. Really really love it.
The bigger the asscot the better
Oh brother
I think these hats are made blind people.
Ascot is carnival for rich snobs who thing that disguising those days in february is lowclass. They are a bunch of dingbats with no shame.
I like the dog's ascot the most.
The dog looks so cute!
Those idiotic hats are one thing that never made it across the Atlantic but are de rigueur at any fancy English wedding. Which is strange these days, since everything is so global.
Imagine having a hat wardrobe, as most of these women do. That's weirder than curry with chips.
Actually, they wear odd hats at all of the major horse races.
Hats and fascinators are popular during horse racing season in Aus but it's not made it to weddings.
Pass
The best is Ladies' Day at Aintree, no one gets more dressed up than the scousers and then more pissed afterwards.
If you're not in a daft hat and a dressed slashed to the thigh pissing up against the bombed out church while topping up your scouse brow you've just not put the effort in.
I love hats and the wacky ones are a hoot.
@Abob, I feel like I just read an excerpt from Irvine Welsh's new book, love it!
I love an excuse to wear something out of the ordinary and flamboyant, breaks up the monotony.
Remember that the Ascot hat tradition is taken fairy tongue-in-cheek these days. The wilder and bigger the better. And abob's description of Aintree is spot-on! Liverpool lasses love a chance to slap on the fake tan, staggeringly high heels, mini dresses, every item from their jewellery boxes, and a hat that needs to be bigger than their mates'. Our broadsheets like to poke fun at them, but they're the ones having the laughs. :)
Looks like a lot of planning and a lot of fun. Wish they did something like that here on the East Coast.
Love Ascot!
Hahahah!!! Pissing up the side of the bombed put church!! I've done that many a time after chibuku shake shake ;-)
Looks like fun to me!
I like the hats too! They look like a blast. i'd try to recreate the Audrey Hepburn black and white number from the horse race 'enry 'iggins took her to. That dress and hat were to DIE FOR! My fave ascot get up in these pics is the blond in red.
I was tempted to team my Chloe dress with a beer helmet to my brother's wedding. If we Aussies did it, there would be a higher degree of dental care and more alcohol.
