Ascot Unveils Its 2025/26 Jumps Season Lookbook

Jumps Season has officially arrived – and Ascot has answered the age-old call of: ‘But what will I wear?’ The legendary racecourse has just unveiled the latest edition of its Jumps Season Lookbook, which acts as a style guide for autumn-winter events dressing.

For a second year running, the Lookbook has been curated by stylist Alice Hare. Drawing on vintage silhouettes and English country charm, Hare set out to celebrate the new racing season with each look – and prove the racecourse is just as fun in autumn and come summer. ‘For many, racing fashion is seen as a summer affair, but I hope the Jumps Season Lookbook challenges that, showcasing winter racing as just as rich in sartorial drama,’ the stylist said. ‘The pieces were chosen to inspire winter event dressing and are designed to be wardrobe mainstays beyond the races. While practical, they’re also bold, story-driven pieces meant to spark conversation and carry meaning across generations.’

The 26 looks – spread across womenswear, menswear and children’s – balance heritage British labels with rising international designers, and play on blends of old and new. ‘Several models wear vintage Hermès ties from my grandfather-in-law,’ noted Hare, ‘reflecting the heritage and craftsmanship that shaped this year’s looks.’ Details include tartan capes with bubble hems, boucle cast in gold, and velvet suits with quirky buttons.

You can find the full 2025/26 Jumps Season Lookbook at ascot.com, or watch this year’s Lookbook video below.

Mithridate Opens The Doors On The Karaoke Club 

Mithridate’s new collection is singing to us. Quite literally. British designer and Creative Director Daniel Fletcher continues to explore the interconnected modes of storytelling that align the Chinese-born label with its London base – and with this capsule looks to the joyful atmosphere of the karaoke booth. 

While rooted in British codes – stripes, tailoring and sporting heritage – the 20-piece capsule also plays on cross-cultural pieces. Think striped scarves, wool outerwear, retro fit tees and slogan caps, as well as the designer’s signature suiting.

You Can Now Rent Your Wardrobe From The Comfort Of Your Hotel Room

All dressed up with nowhere to go? Or rather: all ready to go with nothing to wear? Mandarin Oriental Mayfair solves both problems in one with its brand new ‘Dressed In Mayfair’ package. Created in collaboration with rental platform By Rotation, the package includes an overnight stay at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, a signature cocktail at the hotel’s rooftop Hanover Bar, and a By Rotation styling appointment – either in store or in-suite – with the hotel team reaching out in advance to understand each guest’s occasion, requirements and styling preferences, ensuring a seamless and personalised experience.

‘We are two Mayfair brands who together are reimagining what modern luxury looks like – making it thoughtful, circular and community-driven,’ highlighted By Rotation founder Eshita Kabra. ‘Both brands are powered by craftsmanship and innovation, and are united by a vision to create experiences that are as meaningful as they are memorable. We’re delighted to welcome Mandarin Oriental Mayfair guests into the By Rotation community, offering them a new, more conscious way to engage with fashion in one of the world’s most fashionable cities.’
