SPRING INTO RACING SEASON

Meet your perfect races season look: the snakeskin midi dress

I’m lucky to be attending many race days this season, including the Melbourne Cup, Oaks Day and Stakes Day, so each needs a standout look. Metallics, big sleeves and unexpected animal prints are big this season and M&S has plenty to choose from. I loved this dress as soon as I saw it: the snakeskin print is eye-catching (an essential for races season) and it works beautifully with these metallic heels. I’ve kept the accessories simple with a knotted gold headband, croc-effect bag and elegant pearl earrings for added sparkle, all which help elevate the look for the occasion. Take the dress into your casual wardrobe by swapping heels for sandals or sneakers.
