Styling Pocket Squares
A pocket-handkerchief, despite offering a subtle accent to your tailored dress, should warrant as much attention as any other part of your wardrobe. Much like you might think about a suit or shoes, different pocket squares will produce very different aesthetics, some of which will be appropriate for certain kinds of dress and getting this right is crucial to building a look which will enhance, rather than detract from your style. Pocket handkerchiefs can be folded precisely for a neat, or understated look, either in subtle plain hues or with a contrasting rolled edge, or alternatively can be casually stuffed into your breast pocket with tips pointing outwards, or even puffed into a voluminous, pleasingly soft shape for more expressive or casual aesthetics.
