For the true gentleman of the realm, these spats will have the girls falling at your feet – at least to see what on earth you are wearing around your ankles! Seriously, these are a de rigueur part of formal evening attire, or Scottish dress and will also come in handy if you’re collecting a film or theatre award. And, of course, they’d make a perfect and unique gift for the man who has everything (apart from a pair of spats).
