5 DRESS CODE RULES WITH THANASI KOKKINAKIS

When it comes to dressing for the season’s biggest events, Thanasi Kokkinakis knows how to keep things sharp without overthinking it.  


“Spring Racing is all about showing up sharp— POLITIX makes that easy” 

  

Whether it’s a long lunch, a garden party or an invite that calls for something more polished, there are Thanasi’s five golden rules to get the look right.

Rule 1 – Embrace Colour

Spring is fresh and so it’s good to step away from too much blacks and greys. Go for something softer and lighter. A neutral suit in Natural Check or Classic Navy with subtle pops of colour feels effortless, not loud. 

“I like to keep things simple—good fit, no fuss. POLITIX always delivers.”

Rule 2 – No Socks With Holes

Need we say more? A simple rule, but a deal-breaker. Fresh socks shows attention to details and polish off your look.

Go for neutral tones like khaki, olive and grey marle that complement your shoes and suiting. Explore our men's dress socks collection complete your spring event look.

Two pairs of polished POLITIX men’s dress shoes: one in sleek black leather and the other in rich brown. Text overlay reads ‘Rule 3: Polished Shoes,’ highlighting the importance of clean, refined footwear for spring dressing.

Rule 3 – Polished Shoes

Nothing pulls a look together like a good pair of well-polished shoes. For more relaxed events, opt for classic loafers. For dressier events, choose Derby shoes in brown or black.  

Give your shoes a light buff before stepping out— polished leather completes any look and elevates your event style.

“Style isn’t something I overthink— I just go with what feels good.”

Rule 4 – Crisp White Shirt

A white shirt is a good base that anchors any suit or blazer.  

We recommend our stretch cotton shirt that’s breathable and comfortable in one.  

“I don’t usually dress up this much, but when I do, it’s got to be comfortable. That’s why I’m in POLITIX.”

Rule 5 – Pocket Square

A pocket square may seem like an afterthought, but such a small thing makes all the difference. Pocket squares add character and colour which shows that you’ve thought of every detail. Try soft prints or pastel tones that compliment your suit or blazer for a refined spring finish.

Style Tip: Fold it casually— not too perfect. The best pocket squares add character without overthinking it.

Thanasi’s dress code rules prove that Spring dressing doesn’t have to be complicated. And remember: No socks with holes.
