At Goodwood we have always found more joy in easy elegance than strict rules. Raceday style at Goodwood is informal, relaxed but no less stylish. For those of you who appreciate a little direction, the Goodwood look is rooted in the exquisite cool of linen suits, Panama hats and summer ensembles, paired with layers and footwear that allow for changeable skies.
While the weather may vary the tone throughout the season, this effortless ethos of ‘less is more’ remains the same for all 19 days of racing.
The smartest of the enclosures, where the sense of occasion makes for undeniably chic style statements. Linen suits, softly structured dresses, smart separates, tailored trousers with an artful top, and sleek jumpsuits are de rigueur. Lean into fluid silhouettes, delicate details and an air of quiet luxury.
There is one small caveat: we do ask that all gentlemen aged 16 and over wear a suit jacket, long sleeved collared shirt and a tie in the Richmond Enclosure, along with full-length trousers. Boys aged 7-15 years are asked to wear a long sleeved collared button-down shirt.
No further diktats here, except when it comes to fancy dress and sportswear, neither of which are acceptable attire.

The natural beauty of the Sussex landscape informs effortlessly cool and unpretentious dressing in the Gordon Enclosure. Think relaxed midi and maxi dresses; lightweight blazers; soft tailoring and chic separates.

Throw out the rulebook altogether – The Lennox is our most relaxed enclosure. Whether you’re enjoying a picnic with family or celebrating another sensational win with friends, think casual garden party - chinos, cotton dresses and casual co-ords all fit the bill.

If you have a booking for The Charlton Hunt, The Long View, Sussex Boxes, March Boxes, Double Trigger, The Horsewalk, The Lookout, The Secret Garden or The Final Furlong, we ask that gentlemen aged 16 and over wear a suit jacket, long sleeved collared shirt and a tie, paired with full-length trousers. Boys aged 7-15 years can wear a long sleeved collared button-down shirt.
This doesn’t apply to the Sussex Roof Garden or Sussex Lounge Club, where linen suits, softly structured dresses, co-ords, and tailored trousers with an artful top are all good options.
