2 1 THE POCKET SQUARE – A SARTORIAL TOUCH Add flair to your outfit with a dashing pocket square – pictured : Simon Carter . Golden rule – the pocket square should complement your outfit but never match exactly , it is there to give the final dapper touch .
Block colours – never wear a tie and pocket square in the same block colour – save that for the ushers at a wedding . Do ensure the colours complement each other . When wearing a block colour pocket square with a patterned tie , don ’ t always choose the main colour of the tie . Choosing the least dominant colour will actually bring a sharper look . Patterns – the pattern of the tie , shirt and pocket square should never be the same . Mix them up . Use the pocket square ’ s pattern to introduce a bold contrasting colour – this will make your navy or grey suit pop . ECLIPSEMAGAZINE . CO . UK SUMMER RACING FASHION GUIDE 2017 15
