Race Day Hats designed by Adrienne Henry

Hats and Headpieces for Race Season


Royal Ascot is fast approaching! One of the most well known race events is happening in just a couple of weeks, but there also many other races where it is a fun excuse to really dress up and impress.

Looking for that perfect unusual but elegant hat or headpiece to wear to a Day at the Races? We have lots of bespoke, one-off ladies hats and headpieces available to buy or hire in our shop, as well as top hats for the gentlemen.



If you can't find a hat to match your outfit out of the ones available at Adrienne Henry Millinery,  we can design the perfect hat, headpiece, cocktail hat, saucer hat or fascinator to wear to any special occasion that will perfectly complement your outfit and style.

Our designs have adorned many ladies attending races and many gentlemen have bought their top hats from us to wear to Royal Ascot. Race and wedding season is our favourite time year when we can truly go wild with our imagination and designs.


In our boutique in the centre of Reading Berkshire we will advise you on how to wear a hat correctly as well as spending considerable time designing a hat with you in mind. Realising how important the hat is to each lady who visits us we take care to look at the face shape, height as well as their personality. This is very important to us. A hat must never overwhelm! Our style tends to be very elegant but every so often we create a hat which is quite different. These are projects we thoroughly enjoy.

If you would like to discuss your requirements please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wedding Style Guide: How to wear a hat to a wedding

Whether you are the mother of the bride or groom, the bride herself or just a guest wanting to make a statement, here is our guide to wearing hats to a wedding. The points listed below are just a guide, but ultimately we would always suggest you wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. 1. Hat etiquette/positioning Ladies hats are traditionally worn on the right as dictated by old etiquette where the lady would wear her hat on the right, while her gentleman partner would wear his sword to the left, balancing each other out. Of course nowadays hats can be worn on either side as we no longer follow this etiquette, but you will generally find any purchased hat will be made to be worn on the right or with the decoration on the right. If you would prefer a hat on the left this is perfectly acceptable and a milliner will happily make one for you. 2. Hat proportion The hat size should be in proportion with the wearer.
