ASCOT

Have you ever heard of Ascot?

It is a small town situated about twenty-five miles west of London. It is known worldwide thanks to a major social event in Great Britain: the Royal Ascot Racehorse, which takes place every month of June since 1711. The royal family attend the meeting and arrive each day in a horse-drawn carriage.

Such a prestigious meeting requires an elegant attire. Here is a video with some tips in case you are invited!
