Concours of Elegance Germany Style Guide

The Concours of Elegance Germany is not only a showcase of automotive excellence but also a celebration of the timeless elegance and sophisticated style of the drivers and their co-pilots.

Let yourself be enchanted by the fantastic styles of our visitors, that embody the refined aesthetic of the event and an allure of grace, sophistication, and timeless elegance and find inspiration for your own Concours outfit.

• Embrace Timeless Pieces: Our visitors make the Concours a catwalk and shine in their dresses with a flowy silhouette. Lightweight, breathable fabrics like silk, chiffon, or linen are great choices that are both luxurious and ideal for keeping cool in the summer temperatures. 
• Accessories: An easy way to referencing the style of the eras of the Concours car through the decades is to add a stunning earring or necklace from the era. Vintage and antique stores can be real treasure troves for rare finds that will ensure an outstanding style.
• Hats & Silk Scarves: A wide-brimmed hat can be both stylish and practical, offering sun protection while adding a touch of sophistication. Adding a silk headband or scarf like our 2024 Best Dressed Winner is always synonymous with elegance and grace.
• Shawl or Wrap: In case of a breeze or cooler evening temperatures, a lightweight shawl or wrap in a complementary colour can add elegance and warmth.

• Embrace Timeless Pieces: High-quality, timeless classics like a well-tailored blazer, white button-down shirt, and a good pair of trousers are great investments and continue to demonstrate sartorial excellence. Contemplate a lightweight suit in linen, cotton, or a blend. You can also consider a suit jacket paired with chinos for a more relaxed yet refined look. Opt for a crisp cotton or linen dress shirt to stay cool. White, light blue, or soft pastels are excellent choices for summer. 
• Racing Suits: Gear up for an exciting combination of speed and style by wearing your racing suits.
• Accessories: Artfully designed Cufflinks, pocket squares, and a treasured watch are wonderful details that tie in with the engineering and design excellence of the motorcars . A boutonnière or formal pocket square can also be a nice touch.
• Shoes: Choose loafers, brogues, or dressy leather sandals. Lighter shades of brown or tan are suitable for summer, and suede can add a touch of luxury.
