WITH the sun shining across the UK today, racegoers were determined to make the most of the good weather in York.<\/p>\n

Aiming to top up their tans, guests arrived in an array of mini dresses with plenty of leg on display as they arrived at York racecourse.<\/a><\/p>\n

But while the hemlines might be mini the headgear certainly wasn\u2019t with sky-high millinery <\/a>the order of the day.<\/p>\n

Brightly coloured hats, headbands and fascinators topped the heads of almost every lady in attendance today.<\/p>\n

While many have chosen to opt for a shorter dress, full ball gowns could also be seen peppering the crowds.<\/p>\n

And what better way to keep your hem from trailing than with a pair of killer heels with plenty on show today.<\/p>\n

The May Spring Meeting at the famous racecourse will see the William Hill Bronte Cup<\/a> be fought for alongside \u00a390,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n

Guests could be seen arriving in high spirits for a day of\u00a0racing\u00a0<\/a>in the sun with their friends and family.<\/p>\n

And they certainly have gone all out with their wardrobe choices, with eye catching prints and elegant tayloring littering the racecourse. <\/p>\n

The exciting festival has no set dress code, but the website states that the day is ‘special’ and guests choose to ‘dress accordingly.’<\/p>\n

It adds: “While the only formal dress code at York (within the bounds of decency) is that in the County Stand gentlemen (and those identifying as such) are required to wear a jacket, collared shirt and tie, many racegoers like to dress up and step out in style for a day at York Racecourse.”<\/p>\n

And this was certainly the case today with dapper gentlemen on the arms of the glanmorous ladies.<\/p>\n
