9 Essential Pocket Squares Every Stylish Man Needs

About this video

The Gazette team presents nine essential pocket squares they recommend for a gentleman’s collection, covering everything from classic white linen to reversible designs. They discuss the history of pocket squares, provide five general guidance pointers on selection and care, and detail each of their nine picks with specific color and pattern recommendations, fabric suggestions, and styling advice.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends matching pocket square fabric weight to size—thicker fabrics in smaller sizes, thinner fabrics in larger sizes—and prioritizes hand-rolled edges for durability and appearance
• The Gazette team argues that white linen pocket squares are the most versatile foundational piece, suitable for both casual and formal wear, while blue solid-colored squares with contrasting edges offer unexpected visual interest
• The Gazette team suggests that polka dots, paisleys, and geometric patterns each serve different styling purposes, and that texture and reversible designs provide additional versatility for building a complete pocket square wardrobe
