Dress code & Fashion

A Stylish Day Out

Step into a day of timeless elegance, where classic motoring, refined style, and coastal beauty meet on a sunlit lawn. Guests are invited to dress with intention and enjoy an atmosphere shaped by rare automobiles, thoughtful design, fine craftsmanship, and the graceful spirit of the American Riviera.

The dress code is formal garden party attire — polished, expressive, and comfortable enough for a day outdoors. For hospitality areas, guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion: gentlemen may choose a jacket, shirt, and tie, while ladies may opt for long dresses, elegant separates, or tailored trousers.

Ladies

For ladies, we recommend chic daywear such as summer dresses, tailored trousers, refined jumpsuits, or elegant separates. Hats, headpieces, and fascinators are warmly welcomed and add a beautiful sense of occasion.

As the event takes place across lawns and outdoor paths, we suggest choosing footwear with comfort and grace in mind. Strappy sandals, wedges, flats, or block heels are excellent options for moving easily through the grounds.

Gentlemen

For gentlemen, we suggest a comfortable suit, blazer, or sport coat paired with chinos or tailored trousers. Linen, light-colored fabrics, and seasonal textures are especially well suited to the setting.

Ties, bow ties, cravats, pocket squares, classic watches, and thoughtful details are encouraged. Hats are also welcome and can add a distinctive finishing touch to the day’s attire.
