What you need to know about pocket squares.
Muss das Einstecktuch zur Krawatte passen?
Your pocket square and tie should harmonize in color, but they don't have to be identical. The most elegant look is achieved when you pick up a color from your tie or bow tie in your pocket square – our sets are designed according to this principle. They are intentionally created so that colors and materials complement each other without looking exactly the same. This results in a cohesive overall look that appears stylish and well-considered – without you having to spend a lot of time coordinating.
Die richtige Farbe für jeden Anlass
For business and formal occasions, a white pocket square in silk or linen is always a safe bet. For a wedding, you can opt for a more color-coordinated look – pick up on the wedding colors or the color of your bow tie or necktie . In everyday life, you can be bolder: paisley, floral patterns, or vibrant colors add personality to any outfit.
Einstecktuch falten – so geht's
There are numerous folding techniques – from the simple rectangle fold for business looks to the elegant single or double point fold, and even the casual puff fold. Which technique you choose depends on the occasion: the more formal the occasion, the more structured the fold. A simple rule: silk scarves are perfect for loose puff and gathered folds, while linen and cotton scarves hold their edges beautifully with straight folds.
Seide, Leinen oder Baumwolle?
Silk is the classic choice – it has a subtle sheen, drapes beautifully, and is particularly suitable for elegant occasions and weddings. Linen has a more natural look and holds its edges better, making it ideal for structured folds and summer outfits. Cotton is the all-rounder for everyday wear. Satin adds a touch of luxury with its smooth surface. For winter, style-conscious men opt for wool or tweed – perfect for a vintage look.
Einstecktuch ohne Krawatte tragen
Absolutely possible – and that's precisely what defines the modern gentleman. A pocket square without a tie or bow tie is an elegant way to elevate a simple shirt-and-jacket outfit without appearing overdressed. Especially with jeans and a blazer, or with a summer suit without a tie, a pocket square adds the perfect touch. In this case, choose a pocket square with a bit more color or pattern to make it a real eye-catcher.
Wie viel Stoff darf rausschauen?
The golden rule: Between one and three centimeters should protrude from the breast pocket. Less looks too understated, more can quickly appear overdone. The pocket square should complement your outfit, not distract from it. With a puff fold, it can sit a little looser; with a rectangle fold, it should be more precise. The important thing is that it looks natural and not too perfectly pinned.
Das perfekte Einstecktuch zur Hochzeit
For a wedding, we recommend a pocket square made of silk or satin – the subtle sheen is perfect for the festive occasion. As the groom, you should ideally coordinate the color with your bow tie or necktie and the wedding colors. Ivory, champagne, and silver are timeless classics. As a wedding guest, you'll be perfectly dressed in a white pocket square or one in a subtle color that picks up a tone from your outfit.
Die richtige Größe finden
The standard size for pocket squares is approximately 25 x 25 cm – this is sufficient for most folds. For more elaborate techniques such as the crown fold or the bird of paradise fold, we recommend squares of 28 x 28 cm or larger, as you need more fabric to work with. Silk squares are slightly larger to ensure the loose puff fold has a nice, voluminous look. When choosing a pocket square, make sure it fits the depth of your breast pocket.
