The Pocket Square dilemma: to match or not to match?

Choosing the right pocket square can become a stressful exercise, but it really doesn't need to be. And thanks to T.V. shows like Mad Men and the like, pocket squares have come back in popularity and have become an (almost) indispensable part of your suit; so you can’t ignore it either. A good pocket square will add the right amount of drama to what would be an otherwise boring suit, and everybody can do with a little more drama, wouldn't you agree?



The most common question that our clients ask us is: should my pocket square match my tie? And the answer to that is, well, no. While it may SEEM like a good idea to match them, in reality, it is not an acceptable way to do things, suit wise. The purpose of the pocket square is to act as a compliment to your suit or of course, your partner’s outfit.

And here’s what you can do: for all the single gentlemen out there, if you’re wearing a solid tie, make sure the pocket square is a pattern with the base matching your tie or go all out with a nice print in complimentary colours to your tie!



If you’re wearing a printed tie, pick a contrasting element from it and match the pocket square to that element. Yes, you can wear a differently printed pocket square with your printed tie.



If you and you lady are heading out together, try to match your pocket square to her outfit. This gives her outfit a nice compliment and if I may, looks absolutely charming!


So go out there and invest in some nice, bright, whacky pocket squares! You need the variety.

  2. What sets an average guy apart from a gentleman? What do people like Justin Timberlake, David Beckham, or Robert Downey Junior have in common? These all are the names everyone recalls whenever there is an ongoing conversation about a stylish man wearing a well-tailored suit. A gentleman is very particular about his accessories and craves for finer details. best mens pocket squares
