guy on Australian TV - a cooking show. wears Ascots all the time. He's very big, very articulate, and flamboyant. And an Englishman in Oz, so more or less expected to be eccentric - 'Mad dogs nd Englishmen.. '
My Dad wore them all the time. He was in television too.

Don't mean to feed Jerome here, but this pic was too good not to post.
Yep, Fred from Scooby Doo and Matt Preston (the guy from MasterChef Australia that was mentioned by a previous poster) are the only two men on the planet that can successfully pull the Ascot look off.

Not true. The beast/prince from beauty and the beast pulls it off.

Literally everything about that photo is terrible. That man is a travesty.

The issue has been raised many times before, it's as divisive an item as classic hats and other vintage inspired fare. Classy or out-dated depending on which side of the fence you sit.
To directly answer the question - this type of man:
I recognise I'm in the minority by saying I think it can still work today. I think it should be done in a more understated fashion though - dark blues or reds, little if any patterning and worn low so as not to be too 'in your face'. Can no longer be paired with a hat or other by-gone items at the same time, that way lies extremity and costume, sadly.
