Our Stylist Loves: Cotton Pocket Squares

Our Stylist Loves Cotton Pocket Squares

 

A cotton pocket square is the casual alternative to silk, giving your going-out look an upscale attitude without looking stuffy. Wear one with a jacket in a dialed-back tone – like this relaxed khaki – and a solid-color shirt. If you spring for a tie, keep it in the same color family for a little harmony.
