The pocket square is more in demand than ever; a resurgence in vintage tailoring and an increased focus on men’s fashion have made the pocket square the must-have accessory for men. Not only do these beautiful squares of fabric allow you to individualise your look, they act as a focal point for your outfit, encouraging you to get playful with colour and texture. This summer is the perfect time to invest in a beautiful pocket square or two and a grey suit is an ideal backdrop for this look. Grey offers a softer, warmer finish than black or navy and sits in stunning contrast to a bold, artistic pocket square.
We have chosen our three favourite pocket squares for a grey suit, below. Dip in and find your ideal match.
1. Black and White Compass Silk Pocket Square
Our ‘The Right Direction’ Italian Silk Pocket Square is a gorgeous piece of graphic design. The repeated monochrome design features a compass at its centre and a bold black border complete with hand finished edges. Direction related icons sit at three of its corners. Style it with a soft grey suit, crisp white shirt and bold black tie for a perfectly poised look. Use a relaxed fold for your pocket square to stop it looking too ‘overdone’ and give a sartorial edge to your outfit.
