Inspired by Ascot: look smart and gorgeous this summer

The summer is upon us and no doubt you will have an occasion where you need to look smart and gorgeous. It might be a wedding, summer ball or christening and you’re struggling for ideas on what to wear.

At this year’s Royal Ascot, we saw some fabulous outfits that could inspire the perfect formal summer look for you.

Coast is always the best place to visit if you’re looking for the perfect outfit for an occasion. Here are some pieces that are perfect for your Ascot-inspired look.

1. Jeya printed dress, £95

2. Aurelia printed dress, £95

3. Dinah dress, £95

4. Glamour bow dress, £160

5. Milla mono dress, £115

6. Lupita dress, £95

7. Raquela dress, £115

8. Mona short dress, £95

Clearly the headwear is a bit OTT for a wedding, christening, etc. but a lot of the outfits that we saw at Ascot are perfectly wearable.
