Ms Parry expects some tough competition in the fashion stakes on Sunday, especially with expensively styled metropolitan contenders out in force.
But Ms Parry said anyone and any style could come up trumps at Dowling Forest.
"Last year was all about colour blocking, it dominated everything, but this year there hasn't been a clear trend," Ms Parry said.
"Sorbet colours like bright pastels are 'in', there have been some peplums on dresses and some really detailed outfits and digital prints but nothing really stands out.
"This is good. The judges are not really looking for anything in particular.
"Wear something you feel comfortable in, dress for your body shape and something suiting the weather."
For the guys, pastels are also popular, but Ms Parry says the key is to match pocket squares, hat bands, ties while finding an edge to set you apart.
