Given the royal family's love of horses, it's no surprise that Royal Ascot is one of the banner events of the Windsors' annual calendar. The races feature a famously stringent dress code (men must wear traditional morning dress, and hats are a must for all attendees at all times) but they also provide an opportunity for the royals to show off their style—which is one of the reasons the event has also become a favorite of fans of royal fashion.
Here, we're taking a look at the most stand-out looks of this year's Royal Ascot, and all of the royal-approved pieces you can add to your own closet.
