• Pocket Square

The Basic Rules: white linen

Silk pocket squares have become increasingly popular since the 1990s although traditionalists find that their comparative lack of body and excess of shininess make them inferior alternatives.  Regardless of the choice of fabric, the decorative touch of a pocket square is more welcome than ever now that boutonnieres are rarely seen outside of a wedding.  For suggestions on using your handkerchief to add a touch of color to black tie, see Contemporary Personalization.
