Glad it was helpful!

Solid advice! I like the one about patterns with solids and vice versa. Thanks.

Very practical advice. Thank you. Would be great to see your video with some subtle music, nicer background, and more picture examples if possible, to draw in the audience more to your solid points.

I bought a pocket square holder from Amazon and use this little gadget every time I wear a pocket square 😎

[@gentlemenscholarsclub]

Keeps it from sliding?

I would add that you should tone down color and fold pattern as you add other aspects like pattern mixing and accessories. For example, I like to wear a boutonnière. When I do, I wear a solid white linen pocket square in a presidential fold.

Excellent point, Elliott

What about a simple presidential fold ? Its more business subtle, beside white linen you can get some with some colored edging to give a little pop. For sure not a "look at me" but a nice touch ?

[@gentlemenscholarsclub]

Yes, I do like that one too, especially with a crisp linen. It's more formal but also more subtle.
