General Hints

Laser Clinics Australia Fashions on the Field
Style Guide 2025

Whether you’re competing for a sash or simply love to dress to impress, our Fashions on the Field competition is all about sophistication, individuality, and embracing the art of racewear.

THE WEATHER
Spring in Toowoomba can bring a mix of sunshine and breeze. Plan your outfit with the climate in mind – a lightweight cape, structured shawl, or elegant cover-up can add warmth without compromising style. Layer with intention.

THE STYLE
Fashions on the Field is your moment to showcase creativity, coordination, and an understanding of traditional racewear etiquette.
Think bold colour palettes, timeless tailoring, standout silhouettes, or soft, romantic designs.
Hemlines should remain elegant and event-appropriate, midi or below-the-knee is recommended.

For men, contemporary suiting with personality is key – consider sharp tailoring, playful prints, and thoughtfully styled accessories.
Socks, pocket squares, and lapel pins all matter.

THE MAKEUP
As a daytime event, your makeup should feel fresh and refined. Dewy skin, brushed brows, and soft glam are always in fashion.
Add flair with a bold lip or coloured eyeliner – but avoid both together.
Use long-wear products and SPF to stay photo-ready all day.

THE HEADWEAR
Millinery is a must-have and often the centrepiece of your look. From bold brims to sculptural fascinators, headwear should harmonise with your outfit in both colour and proportion.
Placement is flexible – go with what flatters your face shape and hairstyle.

THE SHOES
Footwear should balance elegance and practicality. Stilettos look sleek but may sink on turf, consider block heels, wedges, or fashion-forward flats. Your shoes should complete your look, not compete with it.
And above all else, make sure you can walk confidently.

THE FINER DETAILS
Judges look for polish and personality. Accessories should be intentional and cohesive: gloves, statement earrings, clutches, or unexpected textures can elevate your ensemble.

Don’t forget grooming – nails, hair, and overall presentation are part of the full package.

PRESENTATION
Confidence is key!
Walk with purpose, smile, and let your personal style shine through. Judges look for not just what you wear, but how you wear it.

Clifford Park Racecourse & Laser Clinics Australia wish you the very best of luck, fashionistas! We can’t wait to see you strut your style on the runway.
