It can coordinate with the color of your suit, or, if you’re wearing a pattern tie, match your pocket square to one of those smaller colors. Treat your pocket square is an accessory. Since your tie is a lot more noticeable, handle that coordination first. If you’re wearing a tie, get that matched up first, then worry about the pocket square. Now yes, I know they’re sometimes sold that way, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. The first menswear fashion faux pas on my list is wearing a matching tie and pocket square set.

I’m gonna tailor this a little bit to focus around dressing for events because the holidays are approaching, but this still applies universally. I got your back, so let’s jump in to my list. It’s like having broccoli stuck in your teeth, how do you tell someone without causing embarrassment? That’s why you subscribe to my YouTube channel my friend. So you’ll run around all night long thinking you’ve got everything on point, when you don’t. The other thing is this, nobody’s gonna tell you at the time you’re making a faux pas, that you’re making a faux pas. Because you don’t want anything to distract from that amazing personality you have. So if you’re trying to get that promotion, showing up to your company holiday party with any of these faux pas could squash your chances. The unfortunate side affect of making a faux pas, is it sends the message that you’re uninformed.

I don’t think any of us are really TRYING to commit these fashion felonies, but once again, we don’t know what we don’t know.
