Deep Winter tones are dark, cool, high-contrast colours known for their richness and depth. Think jewel shades like midnight blue, emerald green, sapphire, ruby, and deep purple, grounded by strong neutrals such as pure black, deep grey, and cool cocoa brown. These colours feel bold, crisp, and slightly cool or neutral in undertone.
How to wear Deep Winter colours:
Go for high-contrast outfits, embrace dark and saturated shades, and keep colours cool rather than warm or muted. Silver jewellery shines, though gold can work thanks to neutral undertones. Deep berry pinks and burgundy are more flattering than soft or dusty tones, while bright yellows are best avoided.

Fashion on the Field competitions are a popular part of local race meetings, and are an excellent way of showcasing a race goer’s style and flair.
While entering Fashions of the Field is becoming increasingly popular with race goers, there are a few guidelines generally followed by judges that contenders should take into account when composing their outfit.
The key to a successful outfit is appropriateness; it must fall squarely in the category of race wear as well as suiting the season.
The term “race wear” incorporates classic, elegant styles – avoid anything tight, revealing, strapless or midriff baring. Do however consider trouser or a jumpsuit, but the same rules apply for length – not shorts. Also keep in mind that races are a daytime event, so be wary of material and shapes that spell out evening, like sequins or high shine materials.
Suitably qualified judge/s will be selected to judge the Fashions on the Field.
Judges selected are independent from the Richmond Turf Club and may not reside in Richmond.
The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
