Car shows are moving art filled with vehicles of beauty and outlandish design. As a rule, they are held on beautiful sun blessed days in the great outdoors. The colours of the paint sparkle and dance in the sun beams while chrome glistens and shines. A car show is a delightful, stylish social event if you have prepared well but heaven help the unprepared. For those who are unprepared a car show results in sun burn, sore and filthy feet, chapped lips and sore muscles. The first time I took my fashionable friend Zoe to Summernats (the largest car show in Australia) she was in awe of the fashion sense displayed by most patrons. Cut off shorts, strapless tops, lycra and thongs were the flavor of the day. A full throttle display of bogan design on offer. We marveled at the choices and wished we could follow up days later to check in on their sunburn, heat stroke and sore, aching bodies.
As a rule women in the automotive scene are left with just 4 fashion choices.
To me all of these options are a costume that we don just for car related events. If you are not interested in playing dress ups then here is my guide to stylish, practical and comfortable fashions in the car field.
Those are my tips for staying simply safe and stylish at the car show but I would be interested to hear if you have anything else to add. Email me at [email protected]

Great article Lara!!! Very common sense and especially helpful to those who have never had the privilege of attending a show. Here in the US, what we commonly call tennis shoes are my choice of footwear since they cover, provide support and protection. One item I saw a while back, was interesting. A fishing/hunting vest. Made of mesh with lots of pockets including a full width one across the lower back. The lady wearing it has camera, extra batteries, sunscreen, water bottles, and her parasol was in that rear pocket. She claimed to have a couple and said she used them rather than having to carry a pocketbook. Just another option and not out of the question for a "Bloke" either. Much more fashionable and utilitarian than a "Murse".
