What's a man to wear at Goodwood Revival?

Tuesday, 8 September 2015

I made a very late decision to go to Goodwood Revival this year and, of course, couldn't get tickets*. The annual festival of vintage motor racing, music, aircraft and much else gets increasingly popular every year. It's the sort of event that it's not worth attending unless you dress appropriately. However, it can be hard for a man to decide what to wear, so here are some ideas from images taken last year. 


Unless you go dressed as a fifties car mechanic, or a member of the armed forces, the commonest outfit for a man is something forties or fifties in style. No skinny jeans or short, tight jackets - it's all about generous and comfortable tailoring; the look of the British gentleman.

Vintage clothes are a specialist market and for the enthusiast, but you can out together the look with modern clothes. The demob suit would be ideal, otherwise a tweed suit or jacket or blazer (or linen if it's warm) with a shirt, tie and cap or hat. Brogues or traditional English-made oxfords, derbies and boots are essential footwear. Add a cravat from Cravat Club to complete the classic look.

My tweed suit (above) was made for me by Susannah Hall Tailors, shoes by Loake and hat by Failsworth. Last year's Goodwood Revival was warm and a linen suit might have been better - this year looks as though it will be cooler.


Whatever the weather, have a wonderful time. Goodwood Revival, 11-13 September 2015.

*I should add that kind souls have since offered me tickets, but I have had to turn them down as I'd made alternative arrangements (which you'll hear more about soon) when we first realised that tickets were sold out.
