The rakish fellow you met last night with the suave dance moves, smoothly rehearsed lines, and your number listed as “Goddess #14” in his phone is fine for a flirt, but probably isn’t meet-the-parents material. Used as an adjective to describe a dashing ladies’ man or a streamlined ship, rakish comes from the fusing of rake + -ish. He is stylishly handsome and prone to saucy, fast behavior. Synonyms include charming, flashy, and immoral.

Looking rakish at work
Most people that work in an office will be aware of the dreariness and mundanity of such a life. One way to counter these feelings is through fantastic fashion. The above look is a Reiss suit, white shirt and pocket square with Reiss tie and River Island silver collar bar. The collar bar is an easy accessory that elevates an already rakish look to another level, and I love the art deco style print of the tie.
The below look consists of white shirt with navy Burton suit and floral tie and pocket square from Topman. Anyone that reads or checks this blog regularly will be aware of my print obsession and florals have been all over the high street this Summer. The muted but colourful florals on this tie really stand out. When the working day is done, it is time to lose the blazer and stick your tie into your shirt.
