Truth be told, no other time of the year is as busy as the Christmas period here in Nigeria. The number of weddings to attend significantly increases by this time of the year…
A friend of mine was preparing to go to travel down to the east from Lagos, and he sought my knowledge on how to wear a pocket square without a tie.
My guess is that he has a lot of uncles and aunties he’d like to attend their weddings. To help him out, I decided to put together this article.
How To Wear a Pocket Square Without a Tie
Here are a few rules you must learn to obey.
Rule Number 1
Look smashing in your suit. Your suit is definitely the first thing everyone will see as soon as they come in contact with you. Don’t buy cheap suits and don’t buy overpriced expensive pieces of crap… I’d have used the S-word.
We put together a list of the best suit colors and some of the factors worth considering when buying a new suit.
Rule Number 2
Wear a shirt that is well ironed. Your shirt may match your pocket square or socks if you so desire. You can opt for another color that contrasts your shirt’s color.
Rule Number 3
Keep the top two buttons unbuttoned to feel more relaxed. After all, you’re not wearing a tie. The unbuttoning of your shirt will help accentuate your facial appearance by creating a nice line with your shirt.
Rule Number 4: Fold Properly
There are tons of folds to choose from. Fold patterns can help you make a fashion statement. However, you must follow the rules of folding. There are tons of tutorials on how to fold a pocket square available on the internet.
Adding a pocket square to a dressed down suit is a good yet simple way to add color to your outfit. If you’re a frequent traveler, this might help you look simple and smart.
