This grand affair is held to raise funds and create awareness of symptoms and early detection of breast cancer, as well as assisting women and men affected by the disease, throughout South Africa. It also celebrates survivors of breast cancer and their inspirational stories of hope, healing and triumph.

Neckerchief:

A neckerchief can add a chic touch to your look. Patterned or plain, wear it with your shirt collar unbuttoned for a more relaxed feel especially when worn with a crisp white or pastel coloured shirt and formal pants.

Pocket square:

Suit pocket accessories, like flower pins and pocket broaches, are seasonal but the a pocket square will always be a sophisticated addition to any look. Keeping in line with the pink theme choose a printed fabric. Florals work well but look out for graphic or animal prints as well.
