I tested the limits of Cheltenham's new ‘inclusive dress code’

The fashion stakes were high as Cheltenham Festival recently joined the action with a new “inclusive dress code”

Our man tested the limits of decency at the famous Cotswolds race meeting wearing a dayglo top, running shorts and trainers

Joe landed on a pink Nike Dri-FIT vest, ASOS tropical beach shorts and a ASICS GT 2000 running shoes, and was cheered and jeered by the crowd

Some cheered, but not all the punters were as welcoming of the fluorescent look, with the occasional shout of “w*****r” hurled in his direction

Penelope, 28, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said: “You must be cold, but that’s a small price to pay for being the sharpest dressed man here”

Some stuck to the traditional smarter look, including royals Zara Tindall and husband Mike who got into the action in the parade ring

Just TV star Carol Vorderman also dressed up in a fur and leather ensemble for the event
