Hi everyone,

I have purchased this 3 piece suit in a tailored fit: https://www.moss.co.uk/moss-1851-performance-tailored-fit-navy-milled-check-jacket-966424609

I have also picked up this tie with the matching pocket square: https://www.moss.co.uk/dusty-pink-textured-tie-966679525 (I have seen these as alternatives if anyone thinks they might work better https://www.moss.co.uk/dusty-pink-grenadine-silk-tie-966795704 and https://www.moss.co.uk/dusty-pink-oxford-silk-tie-966795804)

I will also have a buttonhole which is one pink flower and one white with a small green leaf.

Shoes will be dark brown toe caps, would that work well?

The shirt will be white trying to decide if I should be getting one that is cufflinked.

I did not realize but I have seen a few websites saying the pocket square and tie should not be matching exactly. I need the tie to be the dusty pink colour, is there any better tie I could get? Should I do a pocket square or not if I am having a buttonhole, if so what would be best to buy?

Would any of these work well?


Would these make it look too "busy"?

Help and advice are much appreciated.

(Any links would need to be UK sites)

Thank you

**Edit I have also found this


(Wool tie so not sure if appropriate for summer)

Also this GRENADINE tie:

Dark brown toe caps will be fine.

You are correct in not matching the pocket square to the tie. Those other squares will work however I would also consider not wearing the square at all. My preference is to wear pocket squares when I'm not wearing a tie however that is a personal matter.

If you plan to wear the boutonnière, skip the pocket square. That will be a busy look.

Thank you very much for getting back to me!

I have ordered the pocket square so will pop a picture on with the boutonniere and tie to get your opinion. But as you say it might be busy so might be best to remove.

What do you think to this jacket in comparison?


I haven't had chance to try it and purchased the other in person but wondering if I have made the right choice. The moss bro one had the milled checked on and from I can see the Ted Baker is plain patterned. 88% wool (ted baker) compared to 70% (moss bro)

The jackets look ok on the models however what matters most is how they fit you. I'd probably wear either if I liked the silhouette it casts.
