How To Match A Pocket Square With Your Necktie [0:00:00]
In today's video, the ultimate guide to matching your tie and pocket square
[Music] Rule number one.
Start with the necktie.
You want to find a necktie that's going to work with your shirt and jacket combination.
Rule number two.
We're going to go ahead and add a pocket square to this combination.
Notice we didn't start with the pocket square.
You start with a necktie, then you add the pocket square.
Rule number three.
You want your pocket square to compliment your necktie, not exactly match.
So, I'm not looking for red pocket square, I'm looking for one that complements.
Rule number four.
Finding accessories that complement each other, it's not that difficult.
What you want to look for is one color that they have in common.
Now, I've made this easy, kept the necktie solid.
But, you notice the red right here on the edge, that's why these two are going to
work so well together.
Boom!
Look at that combination, doesn't that look good?
Now, a necktie can be worn without a pocket square, but to me it just I don't know it
feels lonely, it just doesn't look nearly as good.
And, of course you can wear a pocket square without wearing a necktie.
I personally love this look because I feel the message it sends is that I did pay attention
to the details and, no, I did not forget to wear a necktie.
This was intentional.
And, let's talk about ties.
So, there are all types of different ties out there, but a lot of people are confused
on the bowtie.
Now, the bowtie is just as formal and fits in any situation that you can wear a necktie
and, yes, a bowtie with a pocket square looks amazing.
Now, your pocket square and your necktie can be made from the same material.
In this case, silk, but bonus points if you can bring in something like cotton or linen,
I think which gives a bit more texture and makes it interesting.
And be careful of pocket square creep.
This is when you wear a pocket square that's too small and it starts to fall in and hide
or you wear a pocket square that's too large and it starts to spill out.
And, gentlemen, in case you're wondering, all the beautiful ties and pocket squares
you see in today's video are brought to you by The Dark Knot, the paid sponsor of
today's video and for over five years I've been talking about this company because I
know the founder personally, Rishi.
I have watched him take this company from nothing to I think offering some of the best
deals out there on luxury neckties, pocket squares, and accessories at an affordable
price.
So, all of The Dark Knot neckties are interlined with a double layer of wool and cotton.
Basically, what this gives is a rich thick great-looking necktie knot whenever you tie
it and they pay attention to the small details.
We're talking about reinforced bar tack stitching and label keeper sewn throughout
the seams so to ensure a greater durability of the necktie.
And all of their silk and linen pocket squares, they're all manufactured with contrasting
hand rolled edges.
Every single one of their items comes presented in a elegant black gift box that comes not
only with what you order, but a card that actually explains how to use the item, how
best to match the item, a little bit about the item, so that you can use that accessory
to its full potential.
Gents, all that plus free global shipping.
Again, The Dark Knot is about a quality product at an affordable price, so go check them out,
guys.
I'm linking to The Dark Knot down in the description with the best discount code you're
going to find out there.
Use it or lose it, guys.
That's it, let's get back into the content.
All right.
So now, we've laid out the rules, I'm going to walk you guys through my thought
process.
I'm going to take various neckties various pocket squares and talk about why I think
they go together or why they don't.
All right.
So, this necktie right here, a nice stripe.
Now, this is going to work with a shirt and jacket combination because of the blue right
here that is shared with the jacket.
It's going to actually create a lot of contrast because of the difference in pattern.
And this right here is a very bold necktie, but one that actually is still very formal
because of its traditional heritage.
All right.
So, let's start off simple.
Let's look at this white pocket square.
Yes, it has a bit of red right here, but you can really hide that in the fold.
Now, would this work with this combination?
The answer is yes.
The white presidential pocket square is easily one of the most versatile pocket squares that
can pretty much match with any combination.
But, I think you guys can see this combination right here just a very clean look.
Next up, let's look at this pocket square right here.
We see a paisley pattern white background and the blue.
You think this would go?
The answer is yes.
The blue color right here matching with the jacket and with the necktie actually and the
unique pattern paisley I think it works great in pocket square, one of my favorite pocket
square patterns.
And you can see I can just bring that in here, the pattern is going to bring a bit of disruption.
I think it's a great combination with this overall.
What do you think?
Let me know in the comments.
All right.
So, we're going to stay similar, go with another paisley combination, but this one
has pink, but notice, again, blue and a few variations of it are the dominant.
What do you think this is going to work?
The answer is yes.
In fact, I think it looks even better than that last combination.
And the pink, yes, it's nowhere else in m outfit, but it really stands out it's
going to grab attention and that blue is going to make it work with this entire outfit.
And this right here, a great combination.
All right.
So, we got a small repeating pattern on all the background with the blue outer lining.
What do you think, is this going to work with this combination?
And the answer is yes again.
Notice, we're going for complement.
It's that little bit of blue here on the edge which makes it work.
[0:05:00] Now, what about this combination, we've
got gray with white with the black.
Do you think this is going to work?
And the answer is it can work.
I don't like it as much.
I do like my pocket squares to have more color, but the white right here is actually going
to work with the shirt, so I could actually work to pull off this combination.
Yeah.
I don't like it as much, but you could pull it off.
Now, what about this one right here, a dot combination maybe with a little bit of a light
blue and dark blue on the outside?
Well, again, if you follow the rules you guys know that the blue will make it so that it
works, but if we just want with the red right in here and that's what we showed with the
dot.
The great thing about this is that different type of patterns will work well.
So, a stripe right here is going to work fine with the dot, but if we had a stripe that
was the similar size, probably wouldn't work as well as a pocket square.
But this one right here, yeah, you could make it work and I think adding a bit of color
in red a splash there is going to work fine, but probably not my first choice.
Now, what about this?
This should be easy.
We've got linen with the blue with the gray with the white.
The answer is yes.
And the great thing about this, again, is we have linen mixing it with silk.
So, this combination right here, you actually have a difference in texture and that right
here is going to make it more interesting.
All right.
So now, let's talk about this necktie, beautiful, I absolutely love its small repeating pattern,
classic piece and it actually can be worn in a business environment.
But, this is something that is drawing attention to itself, so you got to be careful with the
pocket square combinations you put with this.
So, I would in my opinion keep the pocket squares in general a bit muted.
This pocket square right here classic presidential fold in white, I think works perfect.
Okay.
So, again, I'm looking for something that complements.
Notice I've got this light blue.
We actually have a light blue right here on the necktie, so technically this will work.
But, when you put it together, do you like it?
And that's another secret weapon when you're putting the stuff together, guys, if you don't
feel confident, then don't try – then don't do it, but practice wearing and say,
you know what?
I like this combination.
It's not going to be for everyone, but I like the combination there.
What do you think of this one?
Maybe I need to go with a different fold.
Let me know down in the comments.
Okay.
So, let's talk about this combination, very busy, very busy, am I going to try to put
this together?
No.
I think this is way too much competition here.
And, again, a favorite pocket square right here, I absolutely love this one the color
combination, beautiful, but is it going to work?
Ah, you know this is a purple and this is a pink.
I think some people could actually look at that and say that they're really close,
but I don't know it feels almost a little bit too much competition.
What about this combination?
No, I don't think so.
Again, too much competition here between these two.
So, what do you think?
Pretty muted tie actually works well with the jacket and this pocket square, again,
the classic white presidential fold works with anything.
Does this combination work?
I, you know I'm on the fence with this one.
I do feel that the necktie is a little bit too strong a little bit too casual, but I
can see how it could work because of the color combinations.
What do you guys think what do you think of this combination right here?
I think this can work actually if you want to put this in, it just got that nice color
that just works.
I'm looking there's a little bit of blue, the blue works here.
I could go with this.
What about this combination?
This one's a very light has a very airy feel.
This one much more formal.
You think we can put this together?
I don't know.
Maybe because of the white shirt, I think you could pull it off, but I' not so sure
about this one.
Again, guys, let me know down in the comments do you like this combination?
And, bringing in the dot.
Now, I think this is a great combination.
Again, because this tie is very muted and dots although they are in general casual they
can be worn with this color with this combination right here.
All right, guys, you want more information on neckties, guess what?
