Wellington Cup Day Fashion: The 2021 trend is a 'dusty friend'

Wellington Cup Day is a highlight of the summer calendar. People from across the capital come to Trentham to place bets on their horses. Fashion in the Field is normally a showcase of what's popular in high-end fashion. 2021 will be a year unlike any other, with Covid-19 putting a handbrake on the sewing wheel over the past 12 months. Wellington Racing Club Fashion Ambassador Stephanie Murray says people will enter with a clean slate. She expects the classic hair, heels and hems to be the same. Marketing Director Lucy Doig says the day is as much about the social aspect as it is about horses and horses, and people meeting new people.
