Dress Code
Each year, everything within the perimeter of the Motor Circuit is transported back in time to the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s – including the spectators, who are encouraged to dress in authentic period clothing for their visit.
For the Ladies – Fashion is always at the heart of the Goodwood Revival. It’s a chance for you to put together your most daring creations. Whether you favour a poodle skirt, pencil dress, bellbottoms or a Mary Quant mini-skirt, there are plenty of ways to look the part. How about a WWII military uniform, be it NAAFI, WAAF or ATS? Or the dungarees and headscarf of a Land Girl? Even a 1950s rockabilly dress wouldn’t look out of place at the Revival.
For the Gentlemen – Think smart, gentlemen – from herringbone tweed of the 1940s and the famous flannel suits and penny loafers of the 1950s to authentic wartime uniforms, there are plenty of ways to create a stand-out look. If you fancy something a little more flamboyant, why not buck convention and style yourself like the teenagers of the time? Teddy Boys, Rockers, Beatniks and Brylcreem – come on chaps, step out in style.
