Unless you are in the Royal Box or a VIP suite, trainers are permitted. But, if you're going to opt for comfort, make sure they are clean and in good condition - box fresh Stan Smiths for example.

Opting for a smart flat shoe, like a brogue a la Sienna Miller, or a pointed flat is probably your best option though.

Yes, you can wear jeans - but they can't be ripped or overly distressed.

A short dress is also a great option.

If you're going for legs out, keep it fairly modest up top - remember you'll likely be sitting in either sunshine of drizzle so maximum skin exposure is not recommended.
