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
