A variety of interesting headwear was a prominent feature of the day, with many opting for differently styled broad-rimmed styled black hats. 

Several FotF participants kept their look classy with a pair of gloves, and one even carried a horse riding crop.

Modest necklines were also a popular choice – many opting for a white turtle-neck blouse.

One woman kept her look quirky in a wide-rimmed hat featuring dangling white and black tassels paired with a large red rose elegantly positioned in front of her ear.

Several wore black netted veils across the front of their face as an extension on their hat, adding another element of class to their ensemble. 

One lady seemed to draw inspiration from olden styled English horse riders, donning a vibrant red blazer jacket, a white neck stock and large black belt around her waist.

She posed clasping a leather crop and resting it on her shoulder – adding an extra layer to her equestrian vibe.
