How to choose the best silk pocket square
Start with the fabric. Pure or mulberry silk has the sheen and drape that holds a clean fold, while blends and cotton-mix multipacks are more affordable and great for practice. Hand-rolled edges are a mark of a nicer square.
Mind the size and edges. An 10 to 12-inch square is the sweet spot for most jacket pockets — big enough to fold well without bulging. Rolled, stitched edges look more refined than raw-cut ones.
Coordinate rather than match. Pick up one color from your tie, shirt, or jacket instead of using an identical pattern. A contrasting solid or subtle pattern almost always looks more intentional than a perfectly matched tie-and-square set.
As for value, a multipack is the easiest way to start experimenting with color and folds without much outlay, while one or two pure-silk squares cover formal occasions in style. Because pocket squares get light wear, even a modest set lasts a long time, so spend where it matters: a quality silk solid you’ll reach for again and again.
Frequently asked questions
Should my pocket square match my tie?
Coordinate, don’t match exactly. Pick up one color from your tie or shirt rather than using an identical pattern — a contrasting solid or subtle pattern looks far more intentional than a matched set.
How do I fold a pocket square?
The presidential (flat) fold is the safest and most formal, while the puff fold is quick and relaxed. Silk holds a puff or points nicely, so start with a flat fold for business and experiment from there.
