Wool Ties & Pocket Squares - Pattern Matching Tips & How To Wear | Men's Fall & Winter Essentials

About this video

Weston discusses his favorite ties and pocket squares for fall and winter, emphasizing wool as the ideal material for the season’s heavier fabrics. He teaches a key principle for coordinating these accessories: when wearing a bold pattern tie, keep the shirt and pocket square subtle; conversely, with a bold pocket square, opt for a solid or subtle tie to avoid clashing patterns.

Key takeaways

• Weston recommends wool ties and pocket squares for fall and winter to complement heavier seasonal fabrics, noting that while cashmere exists, wool achieves the same visual effect at a better price point
• Weston argues that rich seasonal colors like greens, blues, browns, burgundies, and burnt oranges work well for fall and winter ties and pocket squares, along with patterns like plaids, paisleys, and geometric designs
• Weston teaches a balancing rule: pair bold pattern ties with subtle, near-solid shirts and pocket squares, and vice versa with bold pocket squares, to maintain visual harmony and avoid clashing patterns
