Royal Ascot 2019 – The Hat Edition

It’s interesting how a horse racing event is associated more with fashion than with an have and actual horse riding, but what can we do, the Brits will have their crazy traditions. It’s gotten to the point where now bookies actually take bets for what color hat will the queen wear on which day. How cool is that? But also, it really seems like the crazier the hat you can wear to the royal ascot – the more street cred (or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say royal cred) you get. So let’s take a look at some of the most insane hats we’ve seen at this year royal ascot. Feel free to pick your favorites and get inspired by these awesome hat choices.

1. The bigger the hat, the more sideways it sits on your hat – the better. At least that seems to be the rule at the Royal Ascot amongst fashionable royals. And if you can fit a massive bunch of flowers on your hat too – go for it!

2. The Queen went for a bright outfits as always and we’re here for it. It’s always exciting when the Queen chooses to go with a bold color. Of course her hats had to match the rest of the look…

3. You’d think wearing a purse that looks like the British flag is as British as you can get. But you’d be wrong. Wearing a massive British flag shaped hat is also an option. How come we haven’t thought of this earlier?

4. Kate Middletonis actually looks awesome! Loving the gentle blue shade, and the flowers definitely add a bit of drama but not too much. One of the few hats we think we could actually pull if we ever went to the Royal Ascot.

5. Speaking of the most British hats ever – why not wear an entire teapot with flowers on your head as a fashionable hat. Madhatter from Alice in Wonderland would be proud, for sure. This one has to be our favorite hat of all.
