These flowing garments represented elegance and grace while honoring their cultural roots. Fast forward to Social/Cup Day at Ascot where women showcase their impeccable taste by wearing stunning dresses paired with elegant skirts. This event epitomizes sophistication and class - demonstrating how skirts continue to be synonymous with timeless beauty.
