Man & His Pocket Square

Accessories maketh an outfit. This is a well known fact. Whether its a pair of cuff-links, that tie or a snazzy pair of shoes, what you wear with your suit makes it an outfit rather than just a piece of clothing.
None more so than the pocket square.It brings a  suit to life, with a dash of color, its sartorial elegance and the tradition it brings to a regular piece of clothing.

 Follow The Rules - 

1. The color of your pocket square should be tonally correct to either your shirt or tie but not necessarily match directly. Though there are exceptions to this rule, for example you will have a white pocket square for your evening wear, when your shirt will certainly be white.

2. Experiment -  You do not have to go for a plain white pocket square. There are polka dotted ones, striped ones, even those that have strange textures to them. Have some fun with the colors, patterns, textures and other elements.

3. A pocket square should be present as a finishing touch, rather than the entire focal point of an outfit – it does not need to be folded into exciting shapes or spanning out across your suit, merely making you look complete in a smart sense.

4. Whether you think your pocket square is dressy or casual, really there is no such thing as long as it goes with what you are wearing.

5. One can also pair up a gingham pocket square with a very smart suit and look all the more dapper. 

P.S - 1. Do not blow your nose in a pocket square.       

        2. If the pocket square makes your breast pocket bulge too much, the changes are you either need a smaller one or you need to refold it.  

Do check below to learn how to fold it correctly.

The one true skill of all Pocket Square wearers is in the folding. There are some exceptionally simple ones that work really well but if you are truly an aficionado then having intricate folding patterns show an extreme skill set and love for style. Indeed, it would suit some of the more exotic patterns or colors of the pocket square.

It is rather small – albeit important – accessory that is often overlooked or added as a mere afterthought. 

Tie or No Tie; Formal or Casual; Day or Night; A Pocket Square exudes class and style. Pick one up today, you won’t regret it.
