Kentucky Derby weekend had a lot of things going for it. Unfortunately, beachside accommodations and the chance of on-track explosions weren’t among them. Enter the Monaco Grand Prix, which, we’re happy to report, needn’t be any less sartorially inspiring. At least not when you’ve got this stuff...
Your cufflinks: more than just a tasteful evening accessory, they’re invaluable in establishing your car-buff bona fides. This collection (some of which are made from repurposed Ferrari metal) is molded into mini stick shifts, foot pedals and ignition keys. Just watch you don’t blind the drivers around turn No. 3 with it.
Your eyes need to be shielded from the Monaco sun. And also from the overly curious. This is the iconic pair of shades Steve McQueen used to wear when lapping people on the track (and in life). They also happen to fold afterward. Unlike McQueen.
Cruising these Riviera streets at night, road-racing shenanigans just seem to find you—especially when you’re stopped at a red light, under a bridge or on top of a steaming manhole. Your new defense: these leathery, night-black driving gloves. Yes, you should pair them with a satin scorpion jacket.
One advantage to Monaco: you’ll never find yourself out of place in a fireproof onesie. Particularly one worn by Alfa Romeo’s Louis Chiron, Monaco’s only native-born Grand Prix champ. Riviera types will appreciate your sense of local history on this... not to mention your cautious approach to high-octane slumber partying.
Obviously, you’ll need something regal for the winner’s circle. This blazer of purple linen with mother-of-pearl buttons—the color and button choice of European royalty—should do. (Nobody will suspect that’s actually American manufacturing under the hood of your champagne poncho, either.)
