The Socialite’s Chia Kougianos brings you a little outfit inspiration for this year’s Vodacom Durban July with Forever New SA, check it out…

The Durban July is fast approaching and we had The Socialite’s Chia Kougianos select an outfit guaranteed to raise the glamour stakes ensuring you look effortlessly chic come race day. This year it’s 50 shades of nautical as the inaugural day features the theme “The Captains Table”.

The Vodacom Durban July draws heavily on horseracing’s deeply-rooted tradition of elegance and chic fashion and what better way to arrive than in a signature look with Forever New SA.Their selection of dresses, skirts and accessories can easily be paired together to create a simple, but perfect look and can be worn mixed and matched to create brand new looks for any occasion.

Fashionistas can look forward to a wide range of gorgeous fascinators, glamorous headbands and hats in store to complete the look. Chia chose this two piece combo with a nude crop top teamed with this gorgeous floral skirt. The floral print is synonymous with Forever New and with the rich blue tones it is perfectly aligned with the nautical-inspired theme. All that was left was a delicate necklace and accessories to complete the look and you’re ready to go.

The theme suggests that “the era is irrelevant; it’s always been the same. When one’s invited to The Captain’s Table, one has to up one’s game” and with Forever New you’re guaranteed to ups your game and style this race day.
