We've cunningly picked out five versatile silk cravats for your wardrobe that would suit any occasion. There are many occasions that call for a formal outfit. Whether it’s a wedding, a christening, a party or simply a dinner date at a nice restaurant, sometimes the casual look won’t quite cut it.

Court ladies preparing newly woven silk in China (1082-1135). The luxurious fibres of silk are synonymous with China and Japan, and more generally the Far East as a whole.

Style advice is something to approach with caution. While here at Cravat Club we don’t agree with being prescriptive about fashion, it can be good to have some guidance at times. An accessory can help to elevate a suit, but the right accessory can take your look into the stratosphere, and squeeze every bit of life out of your treasured garments. These are general guidelines of how to match your favourite suits with ease and aplomb. Some of this is self-explanatory; some colours just don’t work together.
