Square Dancin’

A suit is an essential wardrobe investment piece for any gentleman. A pocket square is a great way to add some flair to your ensemble and keep your suit looking fresh. This small piece of fabric (silk, wool, cotton) will give you a touch of color and decoration—which can really make your suit come alive and “dance”.

Many peacocks express their personality with their pocket square. Some gentlemen meticulously fold their kerchief, while other gents casually drape it into their pocket. There isn't a right or wrong method to "folding" a pocket square. You just have to figure out what works for your personality and taste.

Purples & pinks can add a romantic touch to a dark suit (charcoal gray suit above), but still be masculine.

Above from left to right: This purple & burgundy pocket square reminds me of a Moroccan tile; purple paisley—you know Mr. Peacock likes purple; an elegant periwinkle square; and this fuschia kerchief reminds me of a pink magic carpet.

Mr. Peacock is obsessed with this amazing Navy Lace Print kerchief.

I’m fascinated by the intricate details of the printed "lace" pattern.

Pocket squares with blues & reds always look nice too.

Yellows & oranges will add a sparkle to any gray or dark suit (charcoal suit above).

These beautiful Bird of Paradise pocket squares use greens & browns, which would look handsome with almost any suit...and perfect for fall. They're a blend of wool and silk.


Grays & blacks are always an elegant choice for coordinating with your suit.

These Italian ties and pocket squares are sold in coordinating sets. You can see how easy it is to mix and coordinate a tie color and pattern with a pocket square.

A pocket square doesn’t have to be a color to give your suit ensemble a finishing touch—it can be white. And it doesn’t even have to be square—these pocket squares are round.

Mr. Peacock likes to wear feathers as a pocket square. Don’t be afraid to experiment with pocket squares. Find something that works with your personality and taste.
