This is meant to dress you up, not fulfill imaginary rules of etiquette.

In short: its the weld that makes the other parts work.
Its All About The Look
Pocket squares arent like most other pieces of attire.
The only question to ask yourself is Does it look good with everything else Im wearing?
If yes, go for it.
If no, dump it.
Avoid spending much money on your squares unless you really want to.
Theres no advantage to doing so.
This is the one area where black isnt going to be your best friend.
Black tends to be better alone than when trying to tie things together.
It goes with everything, but connects almost nothing.
A blue and white checked square could pick up thosewhite pinstripesand make them pop.
Throw some gold onto your square and it will make that tie pin at your throat flash.
Always attempt to bring out the subtleties of your wardrobe.
Everyone sees yoursuit is gray, but are they noticing the green hues in your shirt?
A pocket square is the way to make that mix match.
Never, ever, ever should your square be a carbon copy of any other part of your raiments.
Consider the overall effect, and youll go further than trying to determine what rules youre breaking.
Theyre as much wrong as they are right.
This isnt like getting atie lengthproperly to avoid looking sloppy, its about dressing for yourself.
Ignore The Rules
Dont get bogged down in propriety on your square.
For every suggestion or hard and fast mandate, theres a few hundred exceptions that disprove it.
