The breast pocket of a men’s sport or suit coat shouldn’t be relegated to the annals of history. It is an opportunity to show a distinguishing touch of personal style and add a little colour to what might otherwise be an uninspired outfit.
So when should you wear a puff or pocket square - Anytime you are wearing a jacket except if there happens to be a boutonnière on your lapel. Pocket squares are available in a variety of fabrics. Silk usually works best as it offers more vibrant colour choices and provides a more artful flow when well placed.
If you are not wearing a tie, all the more reason to add a splash of colour. If you are wearing a tie, show a little originality by wearing a square that is not identical in shade and pattern. Coordinate them so they highlight the more subtle shades of your jacket and shirt.
I’ve seen numerous ways of folding the intrepid square, some are more flamboyant, some are more geometric and others are simply erratic. Need a lesson – drop in anytime.
