Sharp dressed men of all ages are eligible, and again this year, the overall winner will receive €1,000 towards their nominated charity.

A day dedicated to fashion conscious men will take on Thursday, September 18, sponsored again by Lyons of East River, with a prize fund of €1,300.
“Sharp Dressed Men is what we’ll be looking for, suit and jackets, classic or casual,” said Pat Lyons, sponsor, and owner of Lyons of East River, Mens, Ladies & Home Interiors.
“We are delighted to confirm The Best Dressed Man competition has been permanently changed to the Thursday of the Races as well, thereby giving two days of back-to-back fashion and fun for everyone”.
