the art and design of a pocket square
You see all of these great charts on really cool ways to style your pocket square. When you gather up enough textured scarves to work with, sure play around. But the reality is ....... you know it is most likely that you won't. So just get the basic fabrics and prints covered in the line up and you are covered. The fun part of sporting a Pocket square is to just add a dab of design and personality to what you are wearing. Little lapel pins that have an interesting history, a super sexy textured silk pocket scarf that the ladies just have to touch. So, to the basics:
Straight Fold, stiffer fabric, like a crisp silk, a linen, lace, or cotton. Ironed into a nice fold.
The tip or the poof: I have found that if you gather up the tip or poof in your hand, wrap a rubber band around it, stuff it in your pocket, it helps it to keep it's shape and stays firm in your pocket.
This well dressed fellow has it all put together perfectly. Proportion, lapel detail, a bit conservative on the Pocket Square, mostly likely he had a serious business meeting, you can always switch out that detail for after hours.
Magenta contrast stitched edges. Add this floral to a dark navy suit, or white linen jacket.
Thumbprint silk.....this fabric is amazing, top shelf sexy. the texture is like a yummy silky chocolate. Shown is a vintage silk fabric in a regal gold with really rich maroon and navy. When you use this type of fabric, there is no way to end up with a bad pocket poof. Sexy folding fabric.
Here is an example of the crisp silk. It has some body to it so it really lends itself to either a straight fold or the tips. Conversation starter, featuring vintage men's neckwear silk with a sketched theme of ducks in a marsh. Personality in your pocket.
Tech Dapper: a pop of color for your pocket and the perfect microfiber to keep your glasses and cell phone all nice and shiny all the time. Seriously, this microfiber is the top of the line. You can use it on your camera lens. read more of the tech details on the t2 TECH Square in the Etsy Store.
Bottom line: gather up a good variety, different textures and colors, and for God's sake don't go matchy, matchy with the tie. #Dealbreaker
Okay, yes a bit of contrast is good but wow, you gone too far Lad!
