Londoners Magazine Ascot says cheerio to “chavs”
By Kate Livesey • Jun 13th, 2008 • Category: NewsLadies attending Ascot this year be warned: a strict dress code that outlaws miniskirts and shoulderless tops will be in enforced, with the Queen’s blessing.
Patrons of Ascot’s Royal Enclosure, an exclusive invitation-only event, have been appalled by the amount of bare flesh on display in recent years.
This year, those who don’t adhere to the code will be asked to leave on the orders of Her Majesty’s representative, the Duke of Devonshire.
Course chiefs have spelled out how to dress. They have even issued warnings about under-wear. Women must wear “knickers”, adding: “But not on show, please ladies!” Oompa Loompa fake tans are “a total fashion faux pas and there’s no excuse”. The “anti-chav” dress code has been posted to each attendee and is available on the Ascot website.
Londoners advice is to ask yourself: ‘What would Lindsey Lohan wear?’, and then do the opposite.
