Greetings,
I was hoping someone could offer advice on matching a pocket square to an outfit. I know it is not supposed to match the main color or the pattern of the tie, but what *should* it match? I actually have never worn one before, seeing as I feel that they are overkill for business occasions and I almost never get to dress up for social occasions. But I'd like to try it. The occasion is an informal, daytime indoor wedding. I am wearing: navy-blue blazer, brown pants (darker than tan; I think the official name of the color is "taupe"
, dark brown shoes, white shirt (straight collar), medium red tie with a simple, small-scale light-blue geometric pattern. Should the pocket square be light blue, to match the secondary color of the tie? Off-white (like a natural linen color), or would it be too close to the white of the shirt and clash? Something else entirely? Or is a pocket square not appropriate for this outfit/occasion at all?
Thank you all in advance for your insight.
Best Regards,
Tony
