Goodwood Revival is right around the corner! Cravat Club will be appearing at the iconic racetrack again this year from the 12th-14th September, displaying our new designs and classic favourites for the fashion-forward gent.
Goodwood is always an excuse to step out of the ordinary and the humdrum. If you’re a fan of classic motors and vintage style, you owe it to yourself to come and see it. People come from all over the world for the event, and based as we are in England, it’s right down the road from us!
Far beyond a retro-fest, it’s both a fashion parade and a festival of speed; a celebration of skill, bravery and incredible engineering. Classic cars, beautiful fashions, Spitfire flybys, track racing and sophisticated partying - all on a world-class race circuit, redolent with history.
While we love working online and engaging with fashionistas from around the globe, it’s always a joy to meet our customers in person. Seeing how they style their pieces is always a huge inspiration to us, showing off some incredible combinations and imaginative ensembles, giving us ideas for new lines and collections.
Perfect for the event
A fine silk accessory from Cravat Club is a fantastic way to differentiate yourself from the crowd. While many men will be sporting vintage-inspired looks, they will most likely stick to the same tired old patterns and online finds of dubious quality. By contrast, our designs are distinctive and elegant, as bold as you want them to be and, as they’re made of high-quality silk, will last a lifetime with proper care.
At our stand, we’ll have all of our latest designs for the season - cravats, neckties, pocket squares, new silk evening scarves and our signature multiway pocket handkerchiefs.
A style guide for Goodwood
Perhaps you’re wondering about your outfit, and how best to make it all work together? We’ve put together a brief selection from our range that really capture the Goodwood feel -
The Fujin is a great example of how a cravat transforms when you wear it. Leopard print may not be everyone’s idea of subtle, but it’s astonishing how well it works as part of a more restrained ensemble. Of course, when worn with a plain shirt to emphasise the pattern, the print brings itself to the fore, but its versatility and beauty are incredible strengths. A tweed jacket’s secret weapon.
As suitable for a lunch date as it is for a wedding, the cornflower blue Alessio polka dot cravat makes for a gentlemanly accompaniment to your outfit, pairing especially well with lighter colours. Bring out cooler skin tones or emphasise jacket detailing with this do-it-all staple.
A creative and witty take on the polka dot, this burgundy cravat uses a Western bison skull motif for an elegant and masculine finish. Hugely versatile and flexible, it defies cliché and works with all kinds of outfits. Try with tweed for a transatlantic twist.
A true favourite among Cravat Club’s customers, this beautiful Japanese wave pattern creates detail and interest with interlocking colour. Alternating sakura pink, deep black, brown and dusky gold waves makes for a stunning effect in a simple shirt collar, or brings out the detailing in a jacket with almost unparalleled ease.
Making a strong feature of the “classic cars” angle, the Devin’s graphic print and subtle colourway make it the perfect Goodwood companion. Dampen down brighter tones in an outfit with this cravat, or pair with a simple white shirt to really show off the design. While it may be appropriate for the event, the carefully chosen shades ensure it works well in a host of outfits going forward.
Our multiway pocket squares are the perfect distillation of our approach to men’s style; dramatic, distinctive, high-quality, but endlessly versatile and useful. The multiway design means that different parts of the pattern evoke different colour combos, allowing them to moonlight in many, many outfits. This piece, from our Gods & Monsters collection, depicts ancient Japanese gods converging in glorious technicolour, and is definitely one for the collectors.
Roald Polka Dot Silk Evening Scarves
Perhaps the ultimate in style and flair, a silk scarf really lets the other racegoers that you’ve arrived. Whether arriving in a black cab or behind the wheel of an Aston Martin, it’s quite simply always appropriate. From our new collection, this stunning sight in navy and pink polka dot may have something of a classic and subdued appearance, the wearing will prove it to be the beating heart of any outfit.
Because nothing has quite the effortless style of the polka dot, we recommend our black and white Felix design for ultimate restraint and class. Pairing well with colours both dark and light, it adds balance, interest and serenity to any outfit in need of a little boost.
A pocket square, being naturally a small and subtle touch, is the perfect arena to let your imagination run riot. This design in bubblegum pink pairs a subtle paisley with strident, confident colour. While it may look dramatic on the shelf, it takes on incredible nuance when paired correctly.
Manderley Madder Paisley Cravat
Deep, moody and in darker tones, our Ancient Madder range really brings some edge to a jacket or coat. This is one to lend some gravity to lighter colours, or to provide the finishing touches to a gothic-inspired look. Victoriana? Crushed velvet? Rugged outdoorsman? This is your accompaniment.
Perhaps the embodiment of “classic”, this burgundy polka dot cravat works as well with a crisp white shirt as it does with a tweed shooting jacket. Whether you’re channelling Oscar Wilde or Jimmy Stewart, this cravat is a worthy addition to ensembles both vintage and modern.
As always, the secret ingredient here is your own imagination. Your own sense of style will govern how you wear your accessory, and is the key to the perfect outfit. We simply want to make it so! Goodwood is the perfect arena for expressing your own flair, and we’re so happy to be there again.
Cravat Club will be appearing at Stand 42 in the Trackside Area from Fri 12th - Sunday 14th of September, Goodwood Motor Circuit, Chichester, UK, PO18 0PH.
