Versatile? Well navy, white and some classic ancient madder prints in rich colors are versatile. These are attractive and would be very nice paired occasionally with a navy, tan or cream jacket or suit and a white, blue or pink shirt. The color is a bit casual so it is ideal for a party, wedding, going out on the town but not for serious business and not for frequent wearing.
I plan on wearing it to wedding with a navy suit and silver tie and few other casual functions when I wear a jacket and no tie. I was thinking it would look nice with stone or cream linen pants, pink or white shirt and tan or navy sport coat.

PSG is right. The color is casual so would look fine without a tie as well. I think a wedding calls for some colorful, festive accessories. Me, wearing my cornflower flora linen pocket square. Lately, I've liked wearing patterned squares in a TV fold.

Love the cornflower flora linen pocket square...added to the list. I need a second ps, which of the Chinese brocade's do you prefer?

I speak from experience, as I own both.


I'd listen to Ace. Why? He'll give a non-biased view of tiebar (do a search on his experience) PLUS he makes pocket squares!

Thanks for trusting me on this one. I've looked at their website after posting and saw this:

This looks like the edges are hand-rolled. It seems that the pocket squares I've ordered from them about a year ago had different edges. Could it be possible that they've changed the way they make them? Does anyone have any experience with their recent pocket squares? In light of my missteps with the tie bar, I wouldn't want to criticize their products needlessly.

I like this combo. Not conservative business dress, but it works for me and how I like to wear my clothing.
