An event of refined tastes, fashion, and the thrill of equestrian sports, the Qatar Goodwood Festival is synonymous with British style and taste. In 1906, King Edward VII established the standard for men's summer attire by wearing a Panama hat and a linen suit to Goodwood, a look that still remains closely linked to the festival to this day. The Richmond Enclosure, known for its stylish and exclusive ambiance, enforces a formal dress code for gentlemen, mandating the wearing of a jacket, which must be accompanied by a tie. Other enclosures have a more relaxed dress code, so it's worth checking on the official Goodwood website before you attend.
At Oliver Brown we understand the importance of making an impression at occasions such as Glorious Goodwood. Our team has curated a guide on what to wear at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, featuring this season's standout tailoring pieces for any summer social event.
For gentlemen seeking style and comfort, Eaton Linen Suit in Navy takes centre stage. Tailored from our single-breasted Eaton block, this suit has a classic-fitted cut. Crafted with attention to detail and using bright and beautiful blue breathable 100% linen cloth; the Eaton suit is a piece you'll enjoy wearing again and again throughout the summer.
Our cream linen suits are an equally elegant choice. Choose from the Cadogan Suit in Stone Linen, a double breasted style featuring a strong peak lapel crafted from 100% Irish Linen. Or our Eaton Suit in Stone crafted from 100% linen (225gms) which has been selected for both its durability and breathability - perfect for a day at Glorious Goodwood.
A well-tailored suit deserves an equally elegant companion, and our Luxury Shirt in Pale Pink fits the bill. Crafted from 100% Sea Island Cotton, the finest and most sought-after cotton in the world, this shirt boasts a Jermyn Street cut. Available in pink, blue, or white, the Luxury Shirt complements all the linen suits in our collection.
A gentleman's outfit is never complete without a classic tie to add a finishing touch. Our selection of ties offers a wide array of patterns and colours to suit your personal style. We recommend our mini medallion ties available in brown, navy or blue. For those seeking a classic finish, our Woven Silk Tie in Herringbone - Sky Blue, elegantly complements any suit and is a timeless choice.
No summer occasion is complete without a classic Panama hat, and Glorious Goodwood is no exception. Our selection of Panama hats marks sophistication; woven with Ecuadorian toquilla straw, these hats provide optimal sun protection, so you can protect yourself in style. With our Brisa Panama Hat, the contrasting grosgrain ribbon adds a touch of flair.
Although we always hope for sunshine, it's wise to prepare for any weather by packing an umbrella. At Oliver Brown, we offer a selection of umbrellas crafted by the oldest continually operating umbrella makers in Britain, designed to last a lifetime.
