Style and Pairing Advice

The ascot represents the pinnacle of sartorial relaxation, an accessory that distinguishes the classy man from the ordinary. This RIFOLO model, signed by Don Mimì, is a tribute to the timeless elegance of exclusive clubs and historic mansions. Crafted in fine printed silk, it features a deep blue background embellished with a paisley pattern in shades of Air Force blue, yellow, and orange. The fluidity of the silk ensures impeccable draping and a sensation of absolute comfort against the skin, bestowing upon the wearer an aura of prestige and sophisticated nonchalance.

• The Gentleman in Leisure Time: For moments of leisure that still require a certain stylistic rigor, the ascot replaces the tie with mastery. The paisley pattern adds depth without being excessive.
  Outfit: Structured navy blue blazer (perhaps a double-breasted one with gold buttons); white poplin shirt with the first two buttons open; pearl grey cool wool trousers. Tassel loafers in dark brown leather.
• Weekend at the Villa (Country House Style): The ideal pairing for a bucolic yet refined context, where "Old Money" style finds its maximum expression. The warm tones of yellow and orange in the design recall the colors of the earth.
  Outfit: Tweed jacket in shades of brown or forest green; light blue shirt or light denim; beige or rust corduroy trousers. A cashmere cardigan under the jacket will complete the work.
• The Refined Intellectual: A look that communicates culture, status, and excellence, perfect for vernissages or creative but high-profile professional meetings.
  Outfit: Broken suit with a camel or tobacco colored jacket that picks up the details of the print; ivory shirt; dark trousers. The ascot should be worn with ease, letting the knot barely show.

The tailor's advice: The ascot must be strictly worn against the skin, inside the shirt collar, leaving the first (and sometimes the second) button undone. It should never be tied too tight: the volume of the silk must fill the neckline with softness, creating that "puffed" volume typical of classic Neapolitan and British elegance.
