This Isn’t Just a Race—It’s a Runway

When it comes to fashion in Formula 1, the Monaco Grand Prix reigns supreme. From yacht decks to casino rooftops, every square meter of Monte Carlo turns into a live catwalk during race weekend. Think luxury labels, sharp tailoring, designer shades, and effortless cool—the vibe is elevated European summer meets F1 glam.

Whether you’re attending the 2025 Monaco GP or planning ahead, here’s your complete guide to what to wear for every part of race weekend—so you show up looking just as polished as the paddock.

The Style Rules of Monaco F1 Weekend

Before we dive into looks, here are a few ground rules:

• Luxury casual beats streetwear
  
• Tailoring matters, even in the heat
  
• Comfort counts, but only if it looks intentional
  
• Brand subtleties > loud logos
  
• Never underestimate sunglasses
  

Pro Tip: Day-to-night transitions are key. You’ll likely go from trackside terrace to high-end dinner or afterparty without time to change.

Monaco GP Accessories That Matter

• Watch: From Richard Mille to AP, your wrist game is noticed
  
• Sunglasses: Think classic and premium—Wayfarers or aviators
  
• Hats: Women = sun hat or fedora | Men = skip the baseball cap
  
• Jewelry: Minimal gold/silver, or go full statement earrings
  
• Bag: Sleek crossbody for men and mini designer bags for women
  

Avoid These Style Missteps

• Oversized sports jerseys or merch
  
• Flip-flops or athletic slides
  
• Tank tops or cutoffs
  
• Loud logos from head to toe
  
• Backpacks or bulky bags
  

Monaco is high-end. Even your “casual” look should feel intentional.
