POCKET SQUARES CAN TURN YOUR BORING SUIT INTO A SARTORIAL STUNNER; HERE’S HOW TO WEAR THEM

POCKET SQUARES CAN TURN YOUR BORING SUIT INTO A SARTORIAL STUNNER; HERE’S HOW TO WEAR THEM

The marker of a true gent, pocket squares are the ultimate finishing touch. With an illustrious history extending as far back as antiquity, they’ve long been symbols of class and elegance and the same still holds true today.

With a proliferation of designs and styles, the contemporary pocket square is more piece of art than anything else, top tier designers increasingly choosing experimental dying and printing techniques. However, this popularity has also led to the pocket square becoming ubiquitous.

This being the case, the question arises of how to distinguish oneself from the crowd? Here, we explain the difference between styles and the best way to model this elegant statement piece for maximum effect.

Wearing A Pocket Square With A Suit

For most, putting on a suit isn’t really seen as an opportunity to make a sartorial splash. In fact, it’s quite the opposite with it being all too easy to blend into a sea of navy and grey two pieces. Pocket squares, on the other hand, are the perfect remedy to the bland business suit and patterned pocket squares in particular provide opportunity to showcase your personal style – no matter how flamboyant or otherwise it may be.

With a personal predilection for paisley, we’ll start there. It can dress up a classic suit like nothing else and also works a treat with most ties. Regardless of what way you wear it, it’s bound to set you apart from the average punter.

If paisley isn’t your thing, look for bold geometric prints or graphics. These provide welcome relief from plainer suits and also break up a striped tie wonderfully. Suit Supply stock an enviable selection as do stores like Paul Smith.

In terms of styling, choose colour ways that compliment (note that this does not mean match) your suit. If you’re wearing navy, pink prints provide a pop of colour and look sensational paired with a plain white shirt. In a similar vein, if you’re wearing a grey suit choose warmer tones and bolder patterns that add a point of interest to your outfit.

Wearing A Pocket Square With A Tuxedo

Slipping on a tux is a great opportunity to experiment with plainer versions of the pocket square. An ivory silk kerchief will be a wardrobe staple you use time and time again. Look for a good quality one from the likes of Tom Ford or Mr Porter to complete your formal look.

If you’re really pushing the envelope, another option is a jacquard pocket square. Usually reserved for very formal occasions, these show stoppers are made from a stiffer fabric and work best when folded into a neat Presidential style. Adopt a less is more approach and show a sliver peeping out from the breast pocket for the ultimate finishing touch.

Wearing A Pocket Square With A Blazer

A personal favourite, the pocket square and blazer combo is a sure fire way to turn heads – whether it be at drinks or a day at the races. And this is one occasion where more is more. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bold prints and colours – particularly if you’re working off a plain white or blue shirt.

If you’re heading to a more casual or summery affair, look at high quality linen pocket squares. The open weave of this fabric adds an element of Hamptons chic to most looks, particularly if you’re in a lighter coloured jacket. With heavier blazers, silk kerchiefs are your best bet. Try pairing a checked jacket with circular or floral prints to break up the geometry of the look.

It doesn’t just come down to the pocket square itself though when you’re sporting a blazer – it’s also in the way you fold it. Go for either a crown fold (this has three of the corners sticking out) or a casual fold – as per the gent in the blue jacket below. Both are relatively bold styles that look in keeping with this more laid back style.
