If you\u2019re attending something like a bridal shower or birthday party and still want to wear a jacket, it can be somewhat over-the-top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer? Lose the tie, undo the first few buttons of your shirt, roll up your sleeves, and add a brightly colored or appropriately-patterned pocket square to the breast pocket of your jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li>For a <strong>more formal look<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of things, your cufflinks and tie may simply not be doing the trick for a more formal event, such as a wedding or fancy dinner.

That being said, there are usually three materials to choose from, each of which have a different look. Check them out below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Silk<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A silk pocket square is the ideal addition to a collection of formal clothing and suave essentials. It adds a shiny, luxurious touch to any look, and pairs best with dark colors for a vibrant and bold look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silk tends to be softer and, well, silkier, making it ideal for puff folds that create an eccentric and eye-catching look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Cotton<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotton pocket squares are another ideal option for more formal occasions, though they can seamlessly be used for a more laid-back look as well, making them the best versatile option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a bit more stiff and can easily be manipulated into more intricate folds and finishes, as well as a soft and elegant style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Linen<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Linen is another option that can easily be dressed up or down, but it\u2019s a bit softer than cotton and therefore has a more natural yet luxurious finish. It\u2019s also quick-drying and ideal for those hot summer days when you need to wipe a little sweat from your brow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Choose_the_Best_Pocket_Square\"><\/span><strong>How to Choose the Best Pocket Square<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019re reading this guide to how to wear a pocket square, you may also be looking for some pointers when it comes to choosing the right one for you. Fortunately, we\u2019ve rounded up a few of the top things to consider when shopping around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing is first, consider the <strong>quality of the product and the brand<\/strong>. If it\u2019s got rave reviews and plenty of supporters, you\u2019re probably good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the company\u2019s details as well and what their manufacturing practices are\u2013hand-rolled options are always a safe bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second to that is the <strong>material<\/strong>, which should line up with your personal needs. As we detailed above, the different fabrics can affect the overall appearance of the pocket square and whether or not it pairs with your outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Versatility<\/strong> is another key detail. If you\u2019ve got an arsenal of pocket squares built up in your wardrobe for any and all occasions, that\u2019s great. But if you need something you can wear whenever you\u2019ve got a formal event, consider something more neutral and simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, take the <strong>price<\/strong> into account. A pocket square is an accessory, not the main event. So if you\u2019re looking for something affordable, it shouldn\u2019t be impossible to find. And if you\u2019re looking to splurge, check out local businesses and opt for a fancier material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Style_a_Pocket_Square\"><\/span><strong>How to Style a Pocket Square<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered a bunch of different outfit ideas, tips for finding the right pocket square, and more, you may be wondering about the final styling details. In other words, how do you fold a pocket square?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of different ways to fold a pocket square, from a minimal square to a flamboyant cluster, or a unique, pointed fold. We can\u2019t exactly share all the different methods here and now, and a video tutorial is probably the best way to go if you\u2019re looking for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the most classic option is the square fold, which is simple, versatile, and works well with cotton or linen pocket squares. Casual, formal, and everything in between, here\u2019s <strong>how to do a square fold<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Lay the pocket square flat<\/li><li>Fold the pocket square in half<\/li><li>Fold it in half again<\/li><li>Fold the bottom half of the square up about 3\/4 of the way of the upper half of the square<\/li><li>Fold until you have achieved the desired look<\/li><li>Tuck into the breast pocket of your jacket at whichever angle you\u2019d like<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider if you\u2019re looking for something more casual or formal, and then style and tuck your pocket square from there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fashion_Tips_to_Avoid_With_a_Pocket_Square\"><\/span><strong>Fashion Tips to Avoid With a Pocket Square<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019ve shared plenty in terms of styling and outfit ideas, you may be wondering what you should avoid once you\u2019ve finally got a pocket square in hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into it, here\u2019s a quick disclaimer: fashion is subjective, and you can really do whatever you want if it feels right to you, so take this section with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re looking to coordinate your outfit and create a cohesive look, most people tend to <strong>avoid matching their pocket square to their tie or bow tie<\/strong>. It can sometimes feel a little matchy-matchy and take away from the formal, sophisticated vibe you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to create a harmonious color palette or mix unique patterns instead. Play with color blocking and different shades for a more cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same token, it\u2019s important to <strong>avoid overdoing the patterns<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve got a boldly printed tux and tie, maybe opt for a more simple pocket square. Switch out the materials and try to stick to two different patterns maximum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, <strong>don\u2019t choose colors that contrast too much<\/strong>. A pocket square is all about complementing your look and it can be awkward if you\u2019ve got a simple, muted style with a bold pocket square.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try opting for more than one bold color, such as a forest green tie and a lime green pocket square on a dark gray suit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Take_Care_of_a_Pocket_Square\"><\/span><strong>How to Take Care of a Pocket Square<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to caring for your pocket square, things are pretty simple.
