Men’s Royal Ascot outfit ideas with pampeano
1. Morning suit with a statement belt
If you are attending the Royal Enclosure, the traditional morning suit is required: black or grey tailcoat, waistcoat, and striped trousers. Elevate this classic look with a pampeano belt in sophisticated colours such as:
- ‘Ondas’ – subtle shades of blue
- ‘Multi’ – our most popular belt featuring racing green, red, navy, cream and light blue
- ‘Jefe’ – rich blue with clean contrast brown
These colourways pair perfectly with a crisp shirt and polished brogues, offering a subtle statement that respects the formality of the occasion while adding flair.
2. Leather accessories for practical sophistication
A sleek leather travel bag or classic wallet by pampeano is a stylish way to carry race cards, sunglasses, and essentials without compromising the tailored silhouette. These heritage-inspired designs work effortlessly with both traditional and modern menswear.
Women’s styling: elegant
1. The pampeano belt as a waist-defining accessory
Dresses and tailored two-pieces are essential for Ascot’s Ladies' Day dress code. Add a skinny pampeano belt to:
- Cinch the waist of a floaty midi dress
- Add structure to a pastel coat or dress suit
- Complement a neutral palette with rich leather tones
Top colour choices include:
- ‘Hermoso’ – Pink and cream, perfect for feminine looks
- ‘Sereno’ – Layered shades of blue to complement florals or pastels
2. Pair with leather handbags and clutches
Match your belt with a pampeano leather crossbody or structured shoulder bag. The tactile texture of vegetable-tanned leather pairs beautifully with traditional Ascot staples, such as lace, florals, or tailored crepe.
