Royal Ascot Suit Hire – Morning Suits & Top Hats for the Royal Enclosure & Queen Anne Enclosure
Royal Ascot is Britain's most prestigious race meeting — and one of the few events where the dress code is strictly enforced at the gate. At Black Tie Menswear, we offer two dedicated Royal Ascot hire packages: one fully compliant with Royal Enclosure requirements, and one designed for the Queen Anne Enclosure. Both include expert in-house tailoring, a complete accessories package, and optional top hat hire.
Based in Crowthorne, Berkshire, we are ideally placed for racegoers travelling to Ascot Racecourse from Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire and beyond. Availability fills fast — we recommend booking your appointment as early as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Royal Ascot Suit Hire
What is the dress code for the Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot?
The Royal Enclosure has the strictest dress code at Royal Ascot. Men must wear a black, charcoal or dark navy morning coat with matching or striped trousers, a waistcoat (no novelties), a collared shirt with a tie (no novelties), and a top hat in black or grey. Novelty and coloured top hats are not permitted. Our Royal Enclosure package is designed to meet all of these requirements.
What is the dress code for the Queen Anne Enclosure?
The Queen Anne Enclosure requires smart formal attire. Men are expected to wear a suit — either a morning suit or a lounge suit — with a collared shirt and tie. Top hats are not mandatory but are commonly worn. Our Grandstand Package covers this enclosure and includes a choice of morning suit or lounge suit.
Do I need to hire a top hat for Royal Ascot?
A top hat is mandatory for the Royal Enclosure — you will not be admitted without one. It is not a formal requirement for the Queen Anne Enclosure, though many racegoers choose to wear one. We offer grey felt top hat hire from £29 and black felt from £39, as well as top hats to purchase from £150.
How far in advance should I book Royal Ascot suit hire?
As early as possible. Royal Ascot is our busiest period and appointments fill quickly once race badges are released. We recommend booking your fitting as soon as your enclosure badges are confirmed — ideally 3–4 months before race week in June.
How does the fitting process work?
You'll come in for an appointment at our Crowthorne store — allow around an hour for a new booking. We take your measurements in-house and complete any alterations needed before your collection date. We also offer a self-measurement form if you are unable to visit in person ahead of race week.
