This is the Aintree Races dress code for Ladies Day at the Grand National 2019

Ladies Day at the Grand National is the most stylish event in the Liverpool calendar and Aintree has it's very own style code for racegoers.

Many other racecourses and racing events often have strict dress codes, restricting what people can and cannot wear.

In previous years, organisers at Aintree have launched a 'Style Code' specifically for Ladies Day which aims to "inspire and enthuse" racegoers to dress to impress and show off their personality through style.

However, the code is by no means restrictive in the same way that Ascot's is.

What does Aintree's Grand National website say?

We've taken a look online, and according to the website it says: "Although there is no official dress code, smart is preferable and is often adopted.

"Aintree is a spectacle of colour for all three days of the festival, with many using their trip as an opportunity to showcase their favourite raceday outfits. Hats are optional too, but are frequently worn.

"Sports clothes and fancy dress are not permitted for the Grand National meeting."

When does this year's racing festival take place?

This year's Grand National festival takes place from Thursday, April 4 - Saturday, April 6. Tickets are on sale now.

What do racegoers tend to wear?

If you're struggling for outfits ideas for this year's festival, first of all don't panic as there are still a few months to go and we'll be bringing you plenty of content for it beforehand.

In the meantime you can take a look at our gallery from last year below.
