I frequently watch old black and white movies; not just for
the appreciation of the classics, but often to see how style has been resurrected
or has evolved. Recently, I had a conversation with one of my friends discussing
the correct way to wear pocket squares. I know some of you may call them handkerchiefs,
but in my opinion handkerchiefs are used to only blow your nose with or wipe
sweat with. But back to the topic at hand; in watching some of those old movies
I noticed that men always had a pocket square in the upper left breast pocket
of their suit jackets at all times. The only issue is they were always white. Clark
Gable was one of the best during the 1930’s; he always had one in place on and
off the camera; formal and causal.
Fellas, adding a pocket square to you suit
or sport jacket ensembles always adds flare and class, whether it is formal or
casual; tie or no-tie. The only difference between now and the 1930’s is that there
are more patterns and colors available to spice up outfits. To me it’s a fashion must. And guys figure out
the way you want to insert your pocket square to fit your image there is no
wrong way. The best I've seen currently in tucking the pocket square is Nick
Cannon. Maybe his weekly allowance is spent on pocket squares. Whatever it
maybe, he get my props. Until next week, Stay
