RFW's 2024 Caulfield Cup Style Guide
The Caulfield Cup is where spring racing hits its stride — a day of world-class competition, Melbourne’s finest hospitality, and style that demands the spotlight.
As one of the jewels in the crown of the Spring Racing Carnival, it blends trackside tradition with a playful sense of spring freshness.
This year, our Caulfield Cup 2024 Style Guide celebrates colour, structure, and the art of accessorising. Whether you’re in the Members’, out on the lawn, or hosting a Caulfield lunch with friends, this is how to do it with polish.
The Mood: Fresh, Feminine, and Unapologetically Confident
The Caulfield Cup sits perfectly between the monochrome restraint of Derby Day and the drama of the Melbourne Cup. It’s your invitation to embrace pastels, brights, and sculptural detail, with millinery that makes a statement without overpowering.
Our 2024 Palette
This season, our edit leans into:
- Sorbet shades of pink, lilac, and lemon for a light, springtime feel
- Pops of jewel tones for bold contrast
- Crisp neutrals elevated by textural millinery and fine gold accents
Millinery & Accessories
Millinery for the Caulfield Cup is playful but precise. Think:
- Wide-brimmed straws with colour-blocking
- Sculptural fascinators in tonal or complementary shades
- Floral details that nod to the season without feeling literal
Accessories follow suit — handbags are structured and elegant, shoes are feminine yet functional, and jewellery adds just the right glint for a sunny Melbourne afternoon.
