...with this ensemble? Navy stripe suit, light pink shirt, green tie. Square is brown with a blue edge.

or would any of these be better? I could just default to white linen, but that's so conservative business dress.

No, I don't think it does.

Try with far right pocket square in the picture, don't fold it just stuff it in.

I quite like the tie, but find plain coloured pocket squares hideous.

Much better, but in two minds about the tie.

I like the tie just not wit that suit. Save the green for a khaki jacket.

The second one looks better to me, but I prefer plain white linen.
