The Best Pocket Squares - How To Match, Wear & Other Rules

About this video

Weston teaches men how to select and style pocket squares as essential accessories that elevate formal and business casual outfits. She addresses common questions about when to wear them, how to coordinate them with other garments, and which colors and patterns to own, while emphasizing the importance of simplicity and contrast to avoid looking tacky.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that pocket squares should be matched to shirt color rather than tie color to create proper contrast, with the exception of tipped pocket squares where the border can coordinate with the tie
• Weston recommends cotton pocket squares as the most versatile material and suggests owning at least three: a plain white, a white with navy or gray tipping, and a navy or black gingham pattern
• Weston maintains that pocket squares should be worn with suits and sport coats but avoided with topcoats or overcoats, and that keeping patterns and folds simple is essential to looking sharp rather than tacky
