The outfit you should be wearing to Melbourne Cup

Melbourne Cup is traditionally about showing off your best spring racing dress, but a chic suit is also a trend that can be worn as racing-wear if done the right way.

A coloured suit or one with a more casual silhouette is perfect for any transeasonal event such as the Melbourne Cup, a wedding and well, pretty much most dressy occasions!

Napoleon Perdis brand ambassador Lianna Perdis (pictured above) is the perfect example of putting a modern and feminine twist on suit dressing as she is seen here wearing a slick navy suit at the opening of the Giannetos runway show in Athens. Lianna is also currently promoting Napoleon Perdis which it is set to launch in over 240 Priceline Pharmacy stores.
