Royal Enclosure Rule
not to be broken: Your shirt must be double cuff
However you no longer have to stick to a plain white shirt to wear with your morning coat. You can now show your true
colours as long as they are pale or soft hues – no garish brights please.

| Ede and Ravenscroft |
A stripe with white collar and cuffs is a good
alternative.

| Oliver Brown tunic shirts |
Or go down the traditional route with a white detachable
stiff collar and tunic shirt. Oliver Brown has a choice of white, yellow or
blue collarless shirts online www.oliverbrown.org.uk for £59 and a choice of stiff collars for £15.
Tie:
Royal Enclosure Rule
not to be broken: no cravats or an ascot. (Keep these for weddings only)
Wear a tightly knotted tie and preferably in silk.
Here you can choose any colour.

Charles Tyrwhitt has a selection of silk ties, plain and patterned. Above is the self stripe woven tie in 100% silk. Normal price is £50 but at the moment they have a promotional price of £24.95.

Handkerchief
Royal Enclosure Rule
not to be broken: Has to be silk and neatly folded.
Cotton or any other fabric besides silk is a no no.
And the silk handkerchief has to be neatly folded not
flamboyantly pushed in to the pocket.
Above are silk handkerchiefs from www.davidedward.co.uk in pink, grey or blue. They feature 4 different shades of the same colour and have hand rolled edgings. Price £12
Tip:
Don't wear the same colour for your tie and handkerchief as you'll look as though you're going to a wedding rather than looking dapper for Royal Ascot. They don't need to match, just complement each other.
