Men's Fashion this Spring Racing Carnival - Part 2

As I said, there are suits and then there are suits.  By following a few rules, you should be able to get a get a good looking suit regardless of your budget, and lets face it, the races may not be the best place to wear your most expensive suit. 
For this season, think like Don Draper, not Gordon Gecko.
Black, charcoal or grey suits are the right way to go, and if you want a pattern on your suit rather than a Gecko style pinstripe, find yourself an obnoxious checked pattern or even get yourself a grey tweed.

Make sure that the lapels are thin notched lapels (Like Don's) , not gigantic wing tip lapels (like Gordon's).
Gordon Gecko - Wide Lapel

Don Draper
One thing that both of these guys had in common though, was their  religious use of pocket squares.  Again, this year run with a neatly folded white pocket square like Don Draper or Daniel Craig in James Bond, not with the big fluffy silk number as seen on Gordon Gecko or Matt Preston.



Next time:  Shirts and ties.
