Contrast & Complement 🎨 You may already be sartorially astute enough to know that matching your pocket square with your cravat or tie is generally considered a no-no in the realm of men's style. Although it might seem like the easiest way to coordinate your attire, completely matching your pocket square with your tie or cravat can be seen as uncouth and inexperienced. Carefully mis-matching your square with your neckwear is considered far more elegant and will be looked upon favourably by other discerning gentlemen, who may also be in the know. Moreover, it just looks cooler; there's a sense of sprezzatura and rakishness about casually mismatching your accessories. Be warned though - when we say mismatch, we're not talking about clashing colours, textures or styles. Rather we're talking about complementing and harmonising; yin and yang if you like. Perhaps try using shades on the opposite sides of the colour wheel for a start? Then, if you're feeling more comfortable with pairing colours, and perhaps a little adventurous, there are monochrome, analogous or triadic hues to work with.
