How To Combine & Wear A Pocket Square With Ties, Shirts & Suits

About this video

The Gazette team teaches how to select, coordinate, and wear pocket squares as part of a harmonious outfit. They cover principles for matching pocket squares with ties, shirts, and jackets, discuss fabric and construction quality, explain various folding techniques, and provide guidance on building a starter pocket square collection.

Key takeaways

  • The Gazette team recommends starting outfit coordination with your jacket, then adding shirt, tie, and finally pocket square as complementary pieces, limiting patterns to three maximum for beginners
  • The Gazette team argues that pocket squares should never exactly match ties, and advises investing in quality linen pieces with hand-rolled edges rather than matching sets
  • The Gazette team suggests beginning with a white linen pocket square as a wardrobe staple, then building a collection that pairs solid pieces with patterned ties or vice versa, using different pattern sizes to avoid clashing
