It's occasion season which means one thing: it's time to invest in a new hat.

We're feeling inspired by Rimmel's 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish in Royal So and So and taking our cue from the royals for race day headwear.

From huge, flower-adorned show stoppers to frilly fascinators and sun-brim, straw hats, there's more variety than ever on the high street if you're looking to accessorise your race day look.

Here are a few of our favourites...
