EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the grandeur of Social Day at Ascot Racecourse in 1914, as captured in this stunning photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The image presents a captivating scene of elegantly dressed society ladies enjoying the excitement of the races, their fashionable attire a testament to the opulence of the era. The women's outfits display a rich and diverse range of styles, reflecting the trends of the time. Some don hobble skirts, the restrictive yet popular design that accentuated the female figure, while others opt for loose-fitting tunic dresses that allowed for greater comfort and ease of movement. A lady in the foreground wears a kimono-style dress adorned with intricate oriental embroidery, a nod to the East's influence on Western fashion. Despite the fashionable ensembles, the women's most striking feature is their extravagant hats. Unfashionably large and ornate, these headpieces served not only as a fashion statement but also as a practical necessity to shield from the sun and rain. The women's coats, too, are a sight to behold, their luxurious fabrics and elegant lines adding to the overall allure of the scene. Binoculars in hand, they lean forward in anticipation, their fascinators perched precariously on their hats, ready to catch a glimpse of the horses thundering past. Panniers, a staple of the Edwardian era, can be seen peeking out from beneath some of the ladies' skirts, a subtle reminder of the era's historical context. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society during Ascot's Social Day in 1914, a time when fashion, elegance, and the thrill of the races came together in perfect harmony.
