Why Your Tie Should NEVER Match Your Pocket Square

About this video

Centeno explains why pocket squares and neckties should complement rather than match exactly. He argues that complementary combinations signal knowledge of men’s style and allow for personal expression, while exact matching suggests limited options and understanding. Centeno demonstrates various pairing examples and recommends starting with a white pocket square for versatility.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that complementary pocket square and necktie combinations signal style knowledge and personal choice, whereas exact matches suggest limited wardrobe understanding
  • Centeno recommends beginners start with a white linen or cotton pocket square, which complements any outfit and doesn’t require exact color matching
  • Centeno teaches that pocket square and necktie pairings are opportunities for personal expression—incorporating heritage, colors, or meaningful items—rather than arbitrary matching rules
