Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Ahead, I’ve gathered 18 real-life Formula 1 real-life outfit ideas, keep on reading and pin/ share some of your favorite looks for later reference!
1. Faux leather jacket for F1 race
If you attend the Formula 1 for the first time, here’s one thing you have to know: check the weather!
Depending on the country and weather, what you wear can vary greatly 🌡️🌎
The last thing you want is to be wearing a cashmere turtleneck but it turns out race day is way hotter than you expected, and now you’re trapped in the heat.
Not a good look sis.
So yeah, the safest approach is always layering up so you can take on and off clothing accordingly!
While you see many hotties rocking those faux leather jackets in photos, when they’re actually watching the race, they might take them off and just wearing a bralette or crop top!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
If you love Formula 1, there’s one thing for sure – you have GOOD TASTE!
Please feel free to pin or share these looks so more cool Formula 1 fans like you can come across this post <3!
2. Wear checkerboard to grand prix
Another classic outfit ideas for a ‘racer girl essentials’, the eye-catching checkerboard look.
I mean, it’s totally Motorsport theme approved!
Together, you girls can take the most instagrammable shots.
When the days are cold out, the checkerboard jacket and faux leather pants just seal the deal.
That being said, if you want to highlight the print, keep the rest of the look in solid hues so you won’t look too over the place.
To elevate the style tenfold, consider matching the checkerboard top with punk style belt for a baddie style.
Be the hottest checkered flag at the race track my loves.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
3. Hot girl look for F1
If you gravitate more towards the WAG (wives and girlfriends of high-profile sportsmen) style, feel free to glam up your look!
Extra seductive for this pose – save this for later reference! 💄🔥
F1 in general doesn’t have a specific dress code, BUT…
At the F1 Paddock Club, the ultimate VIP trackside experience, guests are expected to dress smart-casual.
This look is giving “I’ve got style and I rock it.” 💅
I highly advise you girls to bring a baseball cap with you. 🧢
You have no idea how sunny it can be, especially during those afternoon hours. 🌞
And for summertime, to make sure your makeup is flawless, finish up your look with setting spray. If I have to be honest, most setting sprays work.
But when it comes to the most flawless look, my pick is definitely MAC Prep + Prime Fix! 💧
If any of you have tried it, please comment down below – I am curious to know! 💬
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️

4. Casual race girl look for F1
Of course, you can always go casual for F1. 🏎️
If you’ve been there, you will know there’s a mixed crowd of people, from super dressed up in a bodycon to a white crop tee – so I’d say you do you! 👗👕
For a low-key, chill yet preppy look, a baseball jacket or form-fitting polo dress always works wonders.
Seriously, anything with a collar just looks extra preppy.
Waistcoat and jeans are another lovely choice. Especially the white linen ones – they just look extra sleek and smart. ✨
I’m so jealous, this lucky girl is meeting Alexandra Saint Mleux – the girlfriend of F1 Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. 🏎️❤️
Alexandra is clearly style-savvy, and this white monotone look is just as elegant as it is breathable and lightweight during the hot, stuffy days. 🌞
To keep it chill, an over sized white shirt will never go out of style. 👕
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️
For the baddies who wanna spoil themselves but don’t wanna break the bank… check out the bags babies below❤️
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
5. Support your favorite race car team
If you have a favorite team, it’s the perfect opportunity to show your support!
Who’s supporting Ferrari?
I love Lewis Hamilton. He’s devoted, fierce, and obviously has great taste in fashion!
I’m definitely getting this pink biker jacket – it’s just as cute as it is cool to wear.
Whether you team it with a low-neck top or a bralette, that’s such a fire look. 🔥
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
Random Sis’s Talk 💅
First thing first, for the ones who are on a budget, scroll past this pink box please. 💗
For the rest of you who are staying, have you girls tried out the Clé de Peau concealer?! ✨
Not gonna lie, this is quite pricey but lemme tell you, it’s worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. 💸
It’s definitely moisturizing enough for me as a dry skin girlie and my skin now has been appearing FLAWLESS thanks to this concealer. 👑
I also love the fact that they’re quite inclusive in terms of skin tone! 💕
So for the girlies who are interested in pampering yourselves, check this out on Amazon and save it as a gift list for later this year! 🛍️ Your future self will thank you!
For summer days, go for the personalized team.
Love the cream-colored base for this tee.
I personally think the warm-toned white is way better than the classic white. It kind of stands out a bit more.
They have all personalized options – go check them out.
McLaren fans, anyone?
Sunday Racing Formula Club – well, I’m pretty sure it must be a cool kids club, huh?
As a 5’3” girlie, I love rocking an oversized tee dress with knee-high boots – this combo is such a winning one. 🏆
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
