Royal Ascot Hats & Fascinators

Royal Ascot has the most famous millinery dress code in racing. Our Royal Ascot hats are saucers, pillboxes, and large statement hats — the substantial silhouettes that suit Ascot's enclosures — each handmade to order in Louisville, KY.

Saucers, Pillboxes, and Statement Hats for Royal Ascot

Royal Ascot takes place each June at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England. Hats or headpieces are required in the Royal, Queen Anne, and Village Enclosures and encouraged in the Windsor Enclosure. The Royal Enclosure is the strictest: headpieces must have a solid base of at least 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, so small headbands and minimal fascinators aren't permitted there. That's why this collection focuses on saucers, pillboxes, and large hats.

Ascot fashion rewards structure and drama — a wide sinamay saucer with sculpted loops, a pillbox with veiling, or a large hat with oversized silk florals. Pair your hat with a dress or skirt of modest length and covered shoulders to match the enclosure rules.

Every Royal Ascot hat is hand-sculpted in our Louisville studio. Traveling to Ascot from the U.S.? Order at least four weeks ahead so you have time to try it on with your outfit before you fly.
