Depends on what you're doing when you get there. There is no dress code for 90% of it (smart/casual would be least obtrusive). If you're in one of the smarter enclosures, then a blazer is probably about right.

Well, hey, he can get away with it

but no, I wouldn't recommend it.

If you are going into any form of enclosure, or into one of the marquees like Chinawhites, then defo smart casual (trousers, blazer, shirt etc), otherwise smart cas will do.

Some people really go OTT. It's a great day out.

Hi, We will be there as well as its five mins from home have been loads of time's :

If you are not in enclosure then flannels / chinos and open neck shirt (probably long sleve oxford style) is cool and a blazer if you fancy it and a decent pair of brown shoes

Its certainly not a suits event unless its a linen / light colour suit and carry it off

There will be all sorts there just depends what you are looking to pull !!!!!
