Points Up!


How a man wears his pocket square is a religious thing really, and the debate is likely to continue for so long as men wear handkerchiefs in the breast pockets. That said, I come down firmly on the points up style of fold, which is in keeping with the air of carelessness I believe characterizes well dressed men. To my mind, linen pocket squares should look as though they have been stuffed in a pocket, not ironed into place with military precision.

Worn with a brown Garza Fina grenadine necktie, a spread collar shirt without tie space, and espresso brown quarter brogues.

Very nice, Will. A just right shade of brown. Oh, the points up too.

I sometimes stuff the points in first leaving a puff sticking out - still looks careless (because it is). I always think of points up as being a bit smarter.
