GENTS, GO FLORAL

IT’S Ascot time again, and this is the moment for guys to shine with a fabulous waistcoat (don’t worry about the expense – it’ll last you years) and a fragrantly fabulous floral tie. Go to Favourbrook waistcoat shop in Piccadilly Arcade. This summer they have a new collection of real “vintage” embroidered fabrics. Don’t be frightened to go bold in both colour and design. If you’re diving in, make sure its a huge splash.
If this all sounds a bit much, go for a really flamboyant floral tie like this one from Duchamp (right) – this would look amazing with a big orange buttonhole. The waistcoat or tie can be as bold as you like, after all the girls this year are going to be parading some very striking printed dresses.
Generally I would say just wear one hugely striking item, but this year while we’re all still very anti-recession: be bold and have some fun. Ascot this year is going to be rockin’.
