in Europe, they're starting to wear squares in pants back pockets. Looks cool, adds some pop of color to your jeans or casual trousers...not suit pants, NEVER shirt pockets.

That's a message you may not want to be sending.

good point Roger... but, like all matters of style, confident men will pull it off w/out confusing people about their sexuality. remember when a single earring was also a "sign" ? or, a pink shirt?
done correctly, there will be no cofusing this with flagging.

Better still - how about using a colorful pair of jockey shorts as a faux pocket square, and stuffing that into your shirt pocket? That's some good fashion forward, baby! :)

I get the same vibe from men with pocket squares in their back pockets as I do men in casual bowties. They just scream - "Hey look, I grabbed this one tiny totally uncalled for accessory and now I'm the most stylish guy in the room!" and this annoys me.

Looks wrong - ignore it
