10 Best Pocket Squares To Buy

Posted by Rishi Chullani on

In this detailed guide, we cover the 10 best pocket squares to buy.

Given that we often wear pocket squares with ties, choosing pocket square patterns can often seem problematic. With ties ranging from solids to stripes, abstracts to polka dots, and plaid to animal prints, how do we know which pattern to opt for?  Which pocket squares to buy and not waste our money?

Pocket squares are the go to accessory for almost any occasion. These small details are what set apart a good look from a great look. Have fun with this piece of formal wear. Patterned pocket squares really can really accentuate individuality.

The cardinal rule for coordinating a pocket square is to not match the tie in color, pattern, or texture. Instead, utilize a coordinating and complementing color that will add something to your outfit rather than just sit in your pocket.

We have set out to make this daunting task a little easier for you. Below is our 2019 list of 10 best pocket squares to buy.  Luxury accessories at every price point.
