A pocket square is a subtle yet impactful accessory that adds a splash of color, style, and sophistication to your outfit. In today’s fashion climate, a pocket square serves as an excellent accessory to elevate your outfit without the formality associated with a necktie. Bhambi’s highly recommeds experimenting with different cloths, colors, and folds to discover which ones resonate with your personal style. Let’s explore the various ways to choose the best pocket squares for your wardrobe, ensuring they provide the ideal finishing touch.

The fabric of your pocket square sets the tone for the entire ensemble. Silk is a classic choice, providing a luxurious sheen and smooth texture. It’s ideal for formal occasions like important business meetings, weddings, or galas, adding an elegant touch as they catch the light beautifully. Cotton or linen offers a more casual feel, making them ideal for daytime events or summer weddings. These fabrics allow for versatility without being overly formal by exuding a carefree yet polished aesthetic. For the cooler months, wool pocket squares can add warmth and depth to your outfit. Their heavier texture complements heavier fabrics like tweed or flannel, making them a sophisticated choice perfect for fall and winter attire.

The color and pattern of your pocket square can make or break your outfit. Solid-colored pocket square can create a striking contrast, particularly when paired with a patterned suit or sport coat. For instance, a deep burgundy pocket square can beautifully enhance a grey plaid suit, adding depth without overwhelming the look. For a timeless and versatile option, a classic white silk pocket square is always a sophisticated choice, suitable for nearly any occasion. It pairs seamlessly with almost any cloth and adds a touch of elegance.

When selecting a patterned pocket square, the key is to consider the color of your suit or sport coat and explore the various shades within it. A light blue silk pocket square with a subtle gold pattern pairs elegantly with a navy blazer. Patterns such as florals, paisleys, or those reflecting your hobbies can add personality and flare to your ensemble.

The fold you choose for your pocket square is just as important as its color and fabric as each fold communicates a different vibe. A presidential fold – also known as the square fold – offers a crisp, formal aesthetic, making it ideal for weddings or significant meetings. It’s a clean and polished look suited for all gentleman when the occasion calls for it. In contrast, the puff fold, which is a favorite among our clients, introduces a sense of volume and a more relaxed touch. This fold is suitable for smart-casual settings, striking a balance between elegance and informality. It adds an element of flair without appearing overly formal, making it perfectly versatile for social gatherings, dinner parties, or day-to-day wear. The point fold features a pointed tip that can be positioned at various angles, allowing for creativity in styling. It’s an excellent choice for those looking to express a bit of personality while still appearing sophisticated.

Every bespoke suit is meticulously constructed, from hand-cutting the fabric to sewing each component with precise attention to detail.

Bhambi’s Custom Tailors fabric selection offers over 300,000 cloths sourced from highest quality Italian and English mills of Loro Piana, Ermenegildo Zegna, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Piacenza, Standeven, and many more.

In contrast, made-to-measure tailoring uses pre-made, standard patterns that are then adjusted to the client’s measurements resulting in a less precise fit. The range of fabric choices are often more limited compared to those available in bespoke tailoring. The craftsmanship in made-to-measure suits often involves more machine work and less hand-finishing, which can impact the overall quality and detail of the garment.
