Okay, so you’ve secured your ticket to the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix but now you’re faced with *the* race day question – ‘What do I wear?’
If official team merchandise is not on your official outfit Pinterest board, finding an ensemble that’s cute, comfy, and on theme is no easy feat. Fortunately, as seasoned Grand Prix goers and fashion fans, the WHO team have mastered our go-to outfit formula that not only looks cute, but is also practical enough to meet the all-weather demands of race weekend.
Already planning your race day ‘fit? Scroll down to see our top Grand Prix fashion picks.
Mitchell & Ness X Mclaren Oscar Piastri Helmet T-Shirt
$79.99 at Culture Kings
If a bright papaya polo shirt isn’t your race day vibe, incorporating a Formula 1-themed graphic tee, such as this Oscar Piastri Helmet T-Shirt, is a quick and easy way to make your Grand Prix ‘fit both comfy and cute.
Given the weather changes about 20 times a day at the track, having a base outfit that’s all-weather ready is essential, and what better way to rep your favourite driver than with a cool, streetwear-inspired fashion moment?
Topshop Stripe Linen Pants
$101.00 at ASOS
Grand Prix weekend is a lot of walking around, climbing grandstands, and scoping out your best trackside vantage point, and while a mini skirt may be a super cute option, it’s definitely not the most practical for a high-activity weekend.
To complement the comfort and versatility of a basic oversized shirt, our go-to is to pair it with lightweight, wide-leg pants. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic black, but if you want to add a few style points to your Grand Prix ‘fit, we love these Topshop Stripe Linen Pants for an extra pop of pattern.
Official F1 Team Baseball Caps
from $55.00
Whether you’ve got a park pass or a grandstand seat, Grand Prix weekend means *a lot* of time in the sun, and if you want to stay sun-safe while also repping your favourite team, a baseball cap is the best way to go.
Fortunately for those of us with their race day attire at the top of our priority list, each of the constructors has team caps available in a variety of different colours and aesthetics.
New Balance 9060
$230.00 at Stylerunner
So you may be locked in with your vantage point while the race is on, but away from the on-track action, expect to hit well above your 10,000 steps a day on Grand Prix weekend.
To complete the streetwear vibe, we love the New Balance 9060 for a dad sneaker that not only looks stylish, but will also make sure that your feet don’t feel like they’re about to fall off halfway through the day.
