But while the hemlines might be mini the headgear certainly wasn’t with sky-high millinery the order of the day.

Brightly coloured hats, headbands and fascinators topped the heads of almost every lady in attendance today.

While many have chosen to opt for a shorter dress, full ball gowns could also be seen peppering the crowds.

And what better way to keep your hem from trailing than with a pair of killer heels with plenty on show today.

The May Spring Meeting at the famous racecourse will see the William Hill Bronte Cup be fought for alongside £90,000 in prize money.

Guests could be seen arriving in high spirits for a day of racing in the sun with their friends and family.

And they certainly have gone all out with their wardrobe choices, with eye catching prints and elegant tayloring littering the racecourse.

The exciting festival has no set dress code, but the website states that the day is ‘special’ and guests choose to ‘dress accordingly.’

It adds: “While the only formal dress code at York (within the bounds of decency) is that in the County Stand gentlemen (and those identifying as such) are required to wear a jacket, collared shirt and tie, many racegoers like to dress up and step out in style for a day at York Racecourse.”

And this was certainly the case today with dapper gentlemen on the arms of the glanmorous ladies.

“There is no formal dress code for ladies (and those identifying as such), however most choose to dress up for a day at the races – think wedding guest attire,” the website says of women’s dress.

“Lots of female racegoer do like to wear dresses, high heeled shoes together with hats or fascinators, however it’s most important that you feel comfortable and enjoy your day!”
