Hi Everyone,

New here, wasn't sure where to find the advice im seeking, so decided to give this site a try!


I am going to a wedding as a guest in two weeks. I am sure I can post photos since I am a new member, but here is the suit I am wearing.

I am wearing a white shirt underneath, likely unbuttoned-no tie.

I was recommended this pocket square, but not sure if it is a good pairing for fall, and if it would work well again with another event?

I can't see the suit due to access restrictions as a result of GDPR. What's the color of your suit?

Ah dang, It is a navy, maybe inserting a pic works.

Yes I can see it now, the burgundy pocket square looks good. But I play it safe and use a plain white on a navy suit with presidential fold with or without tie. A mustard yellow or rust orange would also work in my opinion.

I agree white would be the safest and least likely to draw attention (not being your wedding and all).

If you must, either of the two you linked would work. And, I'm glad you won't try to use the bee tie pen without a tie!

Thanks guys, I was trying to add a little "excitement" to the suit with a colored/design pocket square, but maybe ill just get white since ill be able to use it more than the light blue.
