On your marks, get set, go! It’s officially the start of spring and what better way to celebrate than to head to the racetrack at the Dubai World Cup on March 29. It’s the perfect time to don your finest, make a statement and, of course, wear a hat – it’s essential.

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and look to Moschino for a playful take on ladylike glamour with gingham checks paired with pearls. You’ll find the Italians have solved your hat problem, with a choice of oversized creations at Armani or intricate headpieces at both Dolce&Gabbana and Antonio Marras. And as for colour, either opt for spring’s hot hues or monochrome; just throw in some chunky gold accessories for good measure.

The style stakes are high… so take the risk and choose opulence every time
