Midaxi Dresses for the Races

Step onto the course looking your best in one of our races midaxi dresses. While midi dresses and maxi dresses are race-day classics, they’ve got stiff competition from midaxis, which fall to a flattering mid-calf length. Explore our inspiring collection to find stylish occasionwear from brands such as Ro&Zo and Albaray.

When you’re choosing midaxi or midi dresses for the races, the weather will come into play. Cotton shifts or swing styles make movement easy and keep you cool when the sun comes out. Linen is your go-to if you want characterful texture combined with natural breathability. To shield your eyes, choose a disc-style fascinator finished with bows, feathers or twinkly beading.  

If full-on glamour is the order of the day, midaxi and maxi dresses in black can’t be beaten. We have sleek columns and figure-hugging bodycons with fluttery angel sleeves or high-volume balloon sleeves with neat buttoned cuffs. Asymmetric one-shouldered designs have an up-to-the-moment feel. For a little more leg, our black midi dresses are a smart and comfortable choice. You can use your accessories to introduce colour – think beaded designs from our women’s clutch bag edit or metallic high-heel shoes.    

For a timeless but still chic take on outfitting for the races, reach for a tea-style midaxi dress. The feminine shape is fitted through the waist and flares out towards the hem, so it has a swishy feel as you walk. Pick a vibrant floral print, opt for colourful polka dots or go bold in a striking geometric pattern.
