Primark Man at Royal Ascot

Craig of That Dapper Chap and other top UK bloggers attend this years Royal Ascot as guests of Primark Man

In this sponsored post I'd like to share my experience of Royal Ascot and what myself and other bloggers in our group wore to the event.

If you've never been to Royal Ascot, I'd certainly recommend it! It's a great day of Horse racing, great food and of course champagne.

Every one knows that attendees of Royal Ascot are all dressed up to the nines and we were no different, but myself and six other UK bloggers got suited and booted without paying a fortune, and all arrived looking the part in suiting by Primark Man.

Not only did we look the part but we arrived in style too in our own helicopter! Well, it would have been rude not to!

Since June 1910 Alfa Romeo, known then as Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, have been making beautiful automobiles.
