Words: Rachel Quarrell
Henley Royal Regatta returned in 2021 after a two-year hiatus. While much about the regatta remained reassuringly familiar, there were a few conspicuous changes for 2021; some temporary, others permanent.

Dress Code
Henley Royal Regatta hit the 21st century in August with a radical revision to its Stewards' Enclosure dress code. For the first time since the 1970s women were permitted to wear trousers (but not shorts), with blazers or jackets. Cambridge Blue Dara Alizadeh took full advantage of the rule permitting national dress, sporting his pink-shorts/black-jacket Bermuda Olympic team combination from the Tokyo opening ceremony where he competed in the M1x.
