Random or Matching

When choosing a pocket square to go with any look, it is important to never choose at random or try to match. Choosing at random will leave you with a pocket square that does not enhance your look and overtly matching just does not create cohesive style the flows. This means that you should only wear pocket squares that compliment your look.

This will help you achieve a style that is seamless and does not create the illusion that you care too much.

What About Color?

The most important element of any pocket square is often the color. You do not want a pocket square that simply blends in with the color of your jacket. In contrast, you want a pocket square that is a sort of distinctive piece and draws attention. Just because you are wearing a navy jacket that doesn’t mean you have to wear a bright pick pocket square to stand out. Pink might be too much, but a silk white pocket square is distinctive and still subtle. Wearing a pocket square with style is always about walking the fine line between too much and not enough.

Harmony should be the expectation of any pocket square, because your goal is not to distract.
