I like wearing it in the summer with an unbuttoned shirt, it's a perfect balance of sensual and refined, but it's also tryhard. If you have a body you would like to show off, an unbuttoned shirt is good enough, and if you wear a suit, it's just pretentious.

My objecting to the wearing of ascot in my own life is to do with it basically requiring me to be unbuttoned if I wear a normal button down. Although if you wear fine bespoke tailoring, this will make you look old-money and handsome! You will beckon all the way back to the 19th century with the choice. And if I'm not mistaken, if you wear a tuxedo style collar and a waistcoat, the ascot works wonderfully on the outside-buttoned up -- I have a photo of my great-great grandfather dressed like that, circa 1910-ish!!
Alas, in spite of the whole of the 21st century of men in menswear, I always have my top button buttoned up. That was a fashion redpill for me. All I see on the street in downtown Toronto are men's collars burst open, with the terrible tie-less vaccum burning into the core of each. Ugly!

I just found out about these an hour ago. I definitely want to try them this summer. Most of the year I wear a suit and tie to church. Last summer I wore this and blue jeans sans tie. I plan on getting a light-mid blue linen blazer too. I think I'll swap the jeans out for chinos and finish with ascots. Maybe I can work them into more casual gatherings. IDK, either way I'm bringing ascots back baby.
