Not everyone likes to wear a tie and there are definitely some occasions that call for less formality, in which case a pocket square may suffice. In certain casual situations one can bypass the tie altogether and opt for a pocket square to compliment a suit or jacket, made up in cotton, linen or silk.
Originally a look sported by more senior gentlemen, we are now seeing a younger generation of dapper dressers adopting it, reflecting a more contemporary approach. Pocket squares can be used to compliment the tone of your suit or jacket, or to create a striking contrast. Paisley prints and spots are very popular current choices, with plain colours and stripes retaining a more conservative and traditional feel.
We have many clients requesting bespoke options, made up to match the lining of a suit or jacket. These tend to be more daring in their approach with varying themes from skull & crossbones, bright floral prints, peacocks and even tattoos! So whether a traditionalist or a trend setter, pocket squares are certain to add style and flair to any ensemble.
Of course, one can also always wear a pocket square with a tie, as our image examples show. Matching to a tie is an option but it’s better to compliment the shirt and tie overall. The more daring and dandy may opt for clashing patterns, colours and tones.
