Racy vs Racewear

This is something I've wanted to discuss for a long time.

When did racewear get so darn racy?

Backless dresses, micro mini skirts, plunging necklines, sheer fabrics and heavy makeup. A very difficult and sensitive argument I know, because ultimately who decides on what is 'appropriate' and what is not? And should there really be rules when it comes to fashion?

I just believe that racewear deserves some respect. Something can be fun & flirty and still brush the knees, fitted and elegant and still allow you to bend over. A little imagination is all you need.

Now it's your say, what do you think? Am I just a prude, hooked on tradition who desperately needs to get with the times? OR, is it time for racewear to raise the bar?

  1. Totally agree! Was talking about this with my mother-in-law during Melbourne Cup week. Go back to traditional!
    I have an outfit I am wearing to a wedding this week that if I had have gone to the races this year, I would have worn. Have been trying to find it online to show you TLT because I KNOW you will just love it...but they mustn't be selling it online because I can't find it!
