Racing Season Returns — Style That Moves as Fast as the Horses

As the weather warms and the first gates open, anticipation for Racing Season 2025 sweeps through Sydney like a pulse. It’s not simply an event — it’s an atmosphere.

The Power of the Double-Breasted Revival

Commanding. Classic. Contemporary.

Few garments exude authority like a double-breasted suit, and 2025 marks its triumphant return to the racing forefront. Once the uniform of old-world elegance, it has evolved into a symbol of modern confidence — structured yet fluid, bold yet timeless.

The Dom Bagnato Azure Double Breasted Suit exemplifies this renaissance: rich Mediterranean tones woven into a fabric that plays with natural light, creating an effortless contrast against the racecourse’s vivid greens. Its wide peak lapels frame the torso with strength, while the tailored waist ensures a confident silhouette in motion.

For those drawn to classic sophistication, the Tommy Suit offers refinement with an edge — navy pinstripes, soft Italian wool, and a contemporary Australian cut. Together, they represent the duality of the modern man: strong in presence, subtle in attitude. In 2025, wearing double-breasted isn’t about revisiting history — it’s about rewriting it.

👔 Peak lapels enhance the chest and elongate the frame — ideal for photos.
🪡 A six-button stance conveys strength; wear it closed for structure or open for ease.
🌊 Azure and navy tones complement coastal-city light and pair beautifully with tan leather shoes.
🧵 Double-breasted jackets naturally photograph better — they shape the torso and anchor posture.

Style Forecast 2025

A look at what’s setting the pace this season.

Expect to see a shift towards quiet boldness — refined silhouettes, but with unexpected details that draw the eye. Palettes such as plum, sky blue, and dove grey dominate this year’s tracks, contrasted with vibrant accessories for balance.

Fabrics are evolving too: linen-wool blends lead the charge, offering breathability without compromising structure — a crucial element under the Australian sun. The double-breasted suit remains the key trend, while single-breasted jackets with wider lapels follow closely behind. Texture is everything: subtle pinstripes, tonal checks, and soft herringbone weaves are defining the race-day aesthetic.

Complete the ensemble with a signature scent — Mancera Tonka Cola for daring vibrancy, or Roses Vanille for timeless sophistication. A gentleman should look sharp, smell divine, and move with purpose — because the best-dressed always set the pace.

🌿 Lightweight tailoring — comfort without compromise.
🩵 Soft pastels replacing stark navy and black.
🕴 Structured shoulders balanced with tapered waists.
💍 Refined metallic accessories — gold cufflinks and tie-pins making a comeback.
🌬 Fragrance layering: pair fresh citrus top notes with deep woody bases.

The Styling Formula

Track-ready looks start with thoughtful layers.

Racing fashion demands balance — between tradition and innovation, restraint and expression. Start with a well-cut suit as your foundation, then layer strategically. A crisp cotton or linen shirt provides breathability under the Sydney sun, while a silk tie or ascot injects character through texture and colour. Burgundy, sage, and ivory are season-favourite tones that speak quietly but confidently.

Add depth through pocket squares folded with precision, or cufflinks that tell a story — heirlooms, mementos, or simply a reflection of taste. Shoes should complement, not compete: think polished monk-straps or classic loafers, never over-ornamented. And for those embracing the monochrome route, introduce intrigue through fabrics — matte wools against glossy satins, or subtle checks layered under solids. The trick to dressing for the races isn’t loudness; it’s control. A gentleman’s impact lies not in excess, but in execution.

🕶 Always balance your palette — if the suit is bold, keep accessories muted.
💨 Opt for breathable shirts — Egyptian cotton or fine linen with a soft spread collar.
👞 Brown or oxblood footwear grounds blues and greys beautifully.
🌸 Accessorise with one statement piece — lapel pin or tie clip, not both.
💼 Finish with fragrance: Mancera Roses Vanille for charm, Tonka Cola for edge.
