Style and Pairing Advice

The "Araldo" Ascot is the quintessence of sartorial elegance, an accessory destined for the man who follows no trends but defines the standards. Crafted from pure satin silk, it offers a discreet luster and an unparalleled silky touch. The deep blue background, embellished with a classic paisley pattern in shades of light blue, red, and orange, gives this garment an aura of prestige and nobility. It is the ideal choice to elevate the stylistic register, replacing the tie with a note of aristocratic nonchalance.

• The Gentleman at Leisure: The ascot is the undisputed king of relaxed elegance. Perfect for a lunch at the club or a Sunday with the family, where rigor leaves room for comfort without losing distinction.
  Outfit: Navy blue double-breasted blazer with gold buttons; white poplin shirt with open collar (unbutton the first button); light grey flannel trousers. Dark brown leather loafers.
• Signature Smart Casual: The red and orange details of the paisley pattern allow for sophisticated color pairings with warm and structured fabrics, typical of the autumn or winter season.
  Outfit: Tweed jacket in shades of brown or tobacco; light blue oxford shirt; beige or rust corduroy trousers. The blue ascot creates a point of chromatic contrast of absolute class.
• Evening at the Villa (Summer): Satin silk is thermoregulating and lightweight, making this accessory sublime even for summer evenings in exclusive contexts, where a tie would be excessive.
  Outfit: Cream or sand linen suit; white linen or linen-blend shirt; white pocket square with contrasting edge. The ascot must be worn strictly inside the shirt collar for an "Old Money" effect.

The tailor's advice: Unlike a tie, an ascot should never be tight. It must fill the shirt neckline with softness. It is recommended to wear it with the first (and sometimes the second) shirt button open, ensuring that the volume of the silk creates a pleasant "puff" that frames the face and protects the neck.
