One of the biggest fashion events on the South African calendar is the Hollywood Durban July, and it is not one to be missed. In the end, this premier horse-racing affair is all about opulence and extravagance.
Like a lot of the revellers, a day at the races means standing out from the crowd in unique and yet practical in terms of looks.
This year the Hollywoodbets Durban July took place on Saturday the 1st of July 2023, at the Greyville Racecourse, and this year’s theme is “Out Of This World.”
Whenever you want to attend this prestigious event, you always need to have a fashion plan in mind. Veteran event designer Leigh Schubert gave some advice for how to get ready in a short space of time.
Below are some of her few tips:
- Get sensible shoes or have backups. Nothing very stylish about a wobbly uncomfortable woman in stilettos
- Carry a wrap or jacket because it gets chilly when the sun goes down, and being cold isn’t “hot.”
- Accessories or hats are what are the most striking and easy to spot. Get crafty, whip out your glue gun, and combine some bits and bobs together. Use an Alice band, beanie, or old peak as a base… pick a colour theme and haul out your old costume jewellery, kids toys, silk flowers, or honey spoons, and create your masterpiece!
- When shopping for last-minute Durban July fashion, have a lookout on socials for any one-off pieces and accessories that boutiques and designers have sourced or made.
