Is it safe to wear white pocket squares with any outfit? I've been noticing in a few GQ and Details magazines that the models where white pocket squares with any shirt tie combination.

I'm wondering what are you guys thoughts on this subject?

I wear them with everything. White matches every color in my wardrobe and is therefore a sure bet!

For whatever reason, I find that I like white cotton rather than linen with tweeds.

White pocket squares should be a staple in any man's wardrobe, imo.

I almost exclusively wear blue or white pocket squares. So to answer your question: Yes!

White linen is my default when I can't find another square to coordinate or when I just want an understated look.

I`m not a huge fan of white squares. I usually wear them when there is nothing else that matches. To me, white squares look OK (like so-so) with everything, but they are rarely the best choice for me.

I have white, blue, pink, yellow and green cotton pocket squares.

In fact those are small sized hankerchiefs I bought from a brodering little shop, I saw them and bought them to match any shirt color.

But is the white the one that is mostly allways worn.

I just bought another in linen to replace the cotton one

I really like white squares...I just purchased another one from Kent and it's great. I find that my linen polo squares are very big. I have to keep folding them in order ofor it to fit.

Is that because I wear a 36S suit?
