#POCKET SQUARE HOW TO#
Best rule of the thumb: if there's a pattern that catches your eye and you're not sure how to work it into a more complex outfit, keep it simple. Liberty Fabric prints, geometrics, florals, dots, paisleys, batiks, kilims, foulards. And beyond colors, there's a whole world of patterns out there. The basic rules apply: colors found in nature – blues, greens, browns, heathers – all party pretty well together, while bright colors are usually best as a one-man-band. Too much matching can get a little prommy. We love (and carry) pocket squares by Drake’s or Petronious but also make a wide selection ourselves, from wool / silk pocket squares to hand-rolled pocket squares in solid colors, to more playful ones.Ĭolor-wise, we like looking for a root color that can hook back to your outfit in some way without matching too literally.
