Rich Ricci models fatcat chic at Cheltenham

Three-piece suit Rich Ricci is not a man for subtleties (just look at his name). Thus, the Barclays banking boss, who picked up more than £43m last year, arrived at the Cheltenham festival in a rather obvious three-piece suit in John McCririck green. Note how the undone waistcoat button hints at a love of fatcat lunches. The sunglasses The Wayfarers take Ricci into try-hard territory. Unfortunately fashion is post-Wayfarers now. He should have written a Barclays cheque for a pair of Tom Fords if he was itching for some style kudos. The hat Combined with the tweed and the enclosure passes that – if you squint – resemble a sheriff's badge, the look has a touch of Boardwalk Empire about it. We're sure he's less about prohibition, more about a bonus-busting bottle of vintage red instead. The tie Clench your teeth and half-close your eyes, folks . . . for this is a football-printed tie. At a racing meeting. Oh the sporting wit, Rich! The shoes Surely these are handmade brogues? The style reveals little, but those soles don't look well worn. Posh country folk are generally tight and keep shoes for ever but these soles hint at a chauffeur-driven lifestyle.
