Men's Suit Details: Do's & Don't's
Tracy Xavier
Just my take on pocket squares, lapel pins, ties & tie bars
Fashion forward merlot suit with floral lapel pin and poof fold pocket square. Beautiful colors that compliment each other, formal slant with lapel detail, lends itself to a poof pocket square style.
Tie Bar
Nice choice on the clean line, modern tie bar. Pocket square color choice is good but a straight edge would have been a more modern look.
Tie & pocket square match up
The blue tones in the pocket square and tie are not from the same blue family, and the flouncy pocket square is a bit much and looks messy.
Two tone, suit & tie
Cool green suit with a same cool feel pop of color tie.
Thin ties are more flattering than wide on shorter men
Color scheme good, tie choice bad. Thick woven ties that are wide do not work and the length is too short. It should touch your belt buckle.
Casual
suits
Without a tie, just an open collar shirt and suit. Informal cotton straight edge pocket square works.
Summer light suits
With light colored suits, a subtle pocket square is a good choice, having interesting details, draws in the eye.
Don’t shy away from colors & prints
Especially if you are going with a solid color suit….go for it.
Never, never, never wear a wrinkled tie.
not to mention the blue jamboree here is killing me.
