Spring Racing fashion: How to wear a hat with confidence to the races

Milliners are busy making hats for this weekend's Everest and Caulfield Cups. The modern hat is hard to find at the races as women find them intimidating. Influencers have been slow to embrace the trend. Myer and David Jones are used to frantic shoppers on race days. General Pants and Spotlight offer basic boaters. Lillian Frank was famous for her big hats at Flemington Racecourse. Her daughter Jackie Frank encourages women to follow her lead. She was awarded an MBE for fashion design at a Victoria Racing Club event. For more information visit Victoria Fashions on the Field.
