As all things do, styles go in and out of fashion over the years. As a man interested in fashion, I hate seeing clothing options completely go out of style as menswear is already limited to few styles as is. The ascot is a perfect example; and, I am calling for a revival.
The impeccable Cary Grant frequently sported the ascot, as well as Marlon Brando. My favorite use is the bottom right, where Grant incorporates it into a casual look paired only with a striped long-sleeved t-shirt- very Parisian chic.
