The general cliché is to walk in to a store and buy a pack of ties and pocket squares which match each other. A lot of Men fall into these style cliché and fashion studies show that this is a BIG NO NO. As a matter of fact, if the sales person ‘who in many cases is not a style consultant convinces you to buy a matched pocket square and tie, you should never patronise that store anymore.

Now for the Men who are style challenged and are clueless on how to Coordinate their pocket squares and ties, here are a few tips for you:

TIP 1

Coordinate in terms of colour. To do this successfully, you’ll need to understand the rules of primary and secondary colours. For example, if you tie is Yellow and blue, you can use a green pocket square as a combination of yellow and blue is green. Or, if you have a monochrome tie (black & white), you can use a bold coloured pocket square.

A more technical way will be the colour blocking style. A yellow tie can work with a light orange pocket square. Once a again, the rule of primary and secondary colours apply.

Tip 2

Coordinate in terms of pattern. So this means if you have a plaid or striped tie, you can choose one of the colours from the tie and use on your pocket square in a lighter or darker shade. Another example and this is for the extreme style savvy; if your pocket square is polka dot with a predominant colour like pink. You can go for a striped tie with a predominant pink colour as well.
