Dressing for the Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower Show returns to the Royal Hospital Chelsea between Tuesday 19th and Saturday 23rd May to bring us amazing garden design and gorgeous floral displays as the show has done since 1912. As the pinnacle of horticultural excellence, it is very popular and visitors include the Royal Family as well as many other famous faces.

There is no official dress code but looking your best and putting on a display is encouraged. If you are lucky enough to attend the Charity Gala Preview, then a suit should be worn. Outside of this, smart casual is recommended; either a polo shirt or collared shirt with a pair of chinos and a lightweight jacket or blazer is a perfect look.

To complement the wonderful plant and floral colour on show in the show gardens and many other inspiring displays, a silk pocket square makes for the ideal finishing touch to a suit or jacket. Otway & Orford have shortlisted below some luxury silk pocket squares with beautiful designs and colours that will put you in the running to win Chelsea Gold for your top pocket display.
