Not wearing a pocket square

Besides, it's just plain 'right', and someone has to stand for what's right.

If you're not going to wear one, commission your suits without a pocket on the breast then!

Do you always wear a flower in your lapel button hole?

Never for work. Occasionally when going out evenings.

Anyone know of a place to get cheap pocket squares? I love them and have 25 of them or so. But I feel bad paying over about $10-12 per piece. Prices are all over the spectrum, upwards to $35! Please help me as I can never have enough of them.

i agree. Perhaps one where we can buy a lot of all the basic colours.

Actually I have an old green wool Pendleton sportcoat, which I otherwise am very fond of, that lacks a breast pocket, and I am irked by the impossibility of accessorizing w/an appropriate square. And the fact that it lacks interior pockets. IOW, I concur that there is no "need" to wear a PS, but I enjoy the variety they offer, and look forward to purchasing more when my wife is not looking.

It is not important to have one but it dose add that little extra zing to any outfit. like women have earings and other jewelery we men have our ties and other clothing accesories. Just depends on how much one likes to show off his style and adding other items to his wardrobe like pocket squares is a great way to accomplish this.

I've seen Robert Talbott squares for $75+.

Try going to an Off Fifth. I recently bought four for less than $20 each. Or JAB
