Outfit Ideas: What to Wear to Your Next F1 Race

Not even the steward can penalise these F1 looks.

Formula One is one of the oldest and most popular motorsports in the world. These popular races are attended by teams competing from around the world and are hosted at some of the most beautiful race tracks you can imagine.
 
While the race itself is exhilarating to experience, F1 is also a social event where all the best dressed come together to enjoy the high thrills of the sport. If you’re looking for outfit ideas to match the high energy and class of F1, we have some great options.

What is F1 - A Brief Introduction to the Popular Motorsport

As one of the oldest racing sports, the first ever formula one race was held in 1950. The race took place in Silverstone, England. Before then, competitive motor racing was a favourite pastime of many European countries. Motor races could be traced back as early as 1931.

Still, after World War II, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) came together to create a standardised set of rules and host championships for professional racers.

Ladies F1 Outfit Ideas

If you want to turn heads for all the right reasons at the next race, ensure you know what to wear. Here are a few outfit ideas to give you a jumpstart on the competition.

 

Classic Black and Gold

Black and white are timeless colours not only in fashion but racing as well. After all, the racetrack is usually black, and the finish line is black and white. 

Create a classic and stylish F1 look by combining the black Dafne dress with a pair of Valentino Garavani studded sandals. Complete the ensemble with a Gucci Mantelasse mini bag, some Emmanuelle Kahn sunglasses, and a couple of Johanna Ortiz Tocapu bracelets.

Fun with stripes

Stripes are synonymous with racing, hence the term racing stripes. If you prefer a more fun look, you’d love the combination of the Gucci striped gauze shirt and Gucci striped wrap skirt.

These items alone will ensure you’re track ready, but you can upscale the look even more by adding a pair of Ferragamo moccasins and an understated Stella McCartney shoulder bag.

Slow Down Traffic in White

The white flag might be used to warn drivers of slow vehicles in their path, but you’ll turn heads in the gorgeous white outfit with an elegant silhouette.

Combine the Zimmermann Tiggy top in white with a lovely peplum silhouette with the Zimmermann Devi Tuck pant in the same brilliant shade for a polished look.

Finish off the look with a few accessories, such as a pair of Givenchy mules, a Saint Laurent raffia mini bag, a pair of Gucci sunglasses, and finally, a Tohum Helia necklace.
