How To Combine & Wear A Pocket Square With Ties, Shirts & Suits

[@kyleweber1994]

I'm always amazed by how you use oranges and browns. Figured it's more of an old-fashioned look but it looks modern with your styling.

[@DonGivani]

For anyone I can give you a tip to have a look at the colorwheel . You can see which colors are matching

[@MrCooper83]

Ralph, I hope you will read my comment. When I subscribed to your chanell, I found your videos and style too formal. That was a few months ago (about 8 months ago). Meanwhile I started to wear suits, shirts, ties daily. Now I find your videos and style more useful than Alpha M's and Antonio's which means I dramatically improved my style since I subscribed to your chanell.. I just want to thank you so much you afford you put into your videos!

[@gentlemansgazette]

+MRZsiir Glad to hear that! Please let others know what impact we had on your style, thanks

[@nikhilsrl]

So true. While I am still subscribed to Antonio, I dont watch all his videos in entirety. Raphael's videos are really informative and always about the classic looks

[@frankcastle1578]

I feel like you deserve a lot more subscribers than what you have, your content is very informative. You're very knowledgeable without being flashy or over the top like some other channels.

[@Ikari777]

J Rod Agreed! He knows his stuff, unlike most others.

[@chibivikram5649]

Done Subscribed!

[@themartinblairproject]

I see how you've improved your video presentations over the last 3 or 4 years Sven. You are my go to consultant when it comes to all things Gentlemanly. I look forward to placing several orders for accessories at Fort Belvedere. I lift up my glass to you Sir, Cheers . . .

[@Ikari777]

This is by far the best video and information on pocket squares out there. Most Just try to give generic advice which is usually hit or miss and only good for men new to dressing well. This video though shows exactly what I like to do with complementing and picking up other colors in tie or shirts. Also, I was happy to see him talk about handrolled edges being best and finding correct size for material used.

[@gentlemansgazette]

We appreciate the kind words.

[@TheManoscaptain]

your suits are the best I love them I can recognize the quality from the screen of my phone and last but not least I like your advice in almost every video great job sir and hopefully I will see you in the menessential next year with Aaron and Antonio. greetings from Greece

[@kaiyusun9222]

Thank you for teaching me what I have always wanted to learn but didn't get a chance to.

[@MrTrenttness]

I love this style of video. Colors are a beautifully complex subject and in my opinion separates the men from the boys when it comes to style. Getting the right fit can be difficult and even frustrating but its not hard to see color and textures are something that one can spend a lifetime mastering. I've made my share of mistakes and I have had to started fresh by being more conservative. I have been trying to hone my instincts and branch out and I know it just simply takes time to develop and signature style. Longer, in depth videos help a guy take those small steps forward. Thank you!

[@natalya6091]

Dear Ralph.Thanks.Great job.Great video. You're brilliant.

[@Chef-1707]

you make inspiring videos and really help..much appreciated and respect to you.

[@threeoeightwadcutter2820]

Makes me feel like going out to find some vitage ties in bright colours. Thanks for sharing

[@POOKIE5592]

I sure wish he could go with me the next time I'm suit shopping!

[@brettthorndike1079]

I agree that the matching tie and pocket square may look bad but still a smart purchase especially when one buys two different sets you can then mismatch .....Great Video👍🏻

[@daleykun]

Thank you! This is the video I've been looking for forever!

[@IrishDemon]

my absolute favourite channel on youtube. any chance of a new video with tips for larger men? or particularly men with big bellies. Danke !!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thanks for your kind words. I always suggest to use the search function on our website first, and you will find what you are looking for ;)

[@hugostiglitz2388]

Thanks for that Sven, you're one smart and informative dude.

[@damianomartucci9814]

I have much to learn. Thank you!

[@OfficerBaron]

Personal favourite, white pocket square in presidential fold.

[@jdhsingi]

Very insightful. I appreciate the information. I see that you used peaked lapels with a knit tie. To me it seems that the knit fabric seems a bit casual for peaked lapels. Is there something that I am missing, or does this just boil down to preference? Thank you for sharing.

[@georgebowman1060]

Excellent! I enjoyed the video.

[@abcertweld]

I have found your sense of style and approach very interesting and informative. I was wondering only because I have yet to hear anyone talk about it. What is your opinion about hand painted silk Ties and Pocket Squares? I was just curious. I like them because they are one offs and are very interesting in color and in configuration. Thank you for your consideration, and another great video.

[@sahanam8039]

Hello Raphael! Thank you so much for your informative videos. You told us to steer clear from matching bow ties and pocket squares (same design, same material). However, I just wanted to know if it would still be acceptable to use a pocket square of the same design and material as the bow tie but different in colour (ex. Burgundy bow tie with navy blue polka dots, pocket square is navy blue with burgundy polka dots)

[@justathought5984]

Love watching your videos So what about same pattern (non-white) shirts and pocket squares? Is that a n0-no as well? Also cotton pocket squares don't have rolled edges, they are stitched.

[@zhenxinraysong3846]

Thank you so much for your videos.i always want to wear classical, but I never found a trusted source. I have been following your instructions and enjoying wearing those classic iteam. Wonder where you get the navy suit you wear in this video. Thanks so much!

[@Mat15115]

Most necktie pocket square sets these days come with a reversible pocket square so that you can wear them together but have a difference yet complementary look

[@TFM8]

Great content. What about wearing pocket squares without ties? I love the touch a pocket square gives but no one uses a tie where I live anymore (Denmark) or only the top executive management and no one else....and I personally don't mind on skipping the tie.

[@jonstern7511]

Another masterclass

[@Gigabajts]

Hey Raphael your blue/yellow/brown outfit in this video is super swell! What is your opinion on white linen jackets? I'm looking for a cool one to wear in the summer.

[@TheAestheticGod]

Rapheal, so i should not buy a silk white pocket square but a linnen one? And are different pocket square materials more formal or does it just depend on the pattern and the colour?

[@walterveliz5236]

Didn’t get a really specific example in the video, but for someone with lots of striped ties, what pocket square pattern would look good with that? Wider thicker stripes? Checkered? Crosscheck?

[@ramanshah7627]

I’d look at solids, medallions, polka dots, and various multicolored prints (which look elegantly chaotic when folded). Depends on the shirt and jacket though - if they have patterns going on, I’d probably retreat to a solid or there would be too much going on.

[@onsidelegal1002]

great video! I would also add that the key to dressing well is drawing attention to the face. your manneqin combinations do an excellent job of that. to my eye, however, your bright yellow pocket square combined with the bright yellow in your tie tends to draw my attention to your (extremely sharp) outfit. fortunately, you are an excellent presenter so it's a really minor quibble

[@billyriedel6449]

If you are wearing a grey double-breasted suit, with a black or navy blue dress shirt, a solid grey tie. Could you wear a solid black, blue, or grey pocket square?

[@Fush1234]

My next purchase will be to try your shop. I gotta be careful, because by the time the package reaches me, with exchange rate, it going to be around $190.

[@austinstyleguy4970]

wonderful video! my favorite!

[@waghprasad]

Can you please suggest what kind of pocket square should I wear with a Blue Tux ?

[@captainpea7776]

Red or green?

[@FTL87]

For a tux, a solid red, white or green pocket square.

[@largol33t1]

In the "old days" (I guess 1918-the 1950s) did pocket squares normally match the tie when you bought them together? Or are they always intended to look different from the tie?

[@roberthoffhines5419]

If it's a faux pas to match pocket square to tie...what about white tie and tails...heh!

[@panhead55]

I have vintage 1950s cuff links with the letter “H” on them. Would a solid silk pocket square with an “H” be too much? Thank you!

[@theshopper6902]

Hey can one have pocket square on odd waist coat? Not planning to wear suit jacket at all.

[@Carlos10642]

This video is VERY informative sir. Thank you!! Question.. do you have a video or can make one with matching bow ties and pocket squares?? Thank you 😊

[@l0rdcroissant]

is it acceptable to wear a tailored suit without tie, button undone with a pocket square??

[@henrymarks2237]

maybe for cocktail attire but really, generally you can have no tie no pocket square, tie no pocket square or tie and pocket square. Great question though!

[@jerryb8840]

Ok so we know its bad to match your tie and pocket square. Whats the rule about the pocket square matching the vest?

[@OscarGoesToOskar]

How do you do? Do you have a youtube video about how to dress during a hike?

[@BilaalM10]

Hello! Where can I get a shirt with stripes just like the one on your green striped white shirt? I’ve been looking everywhere!

[@_Z0T4R_]

Do double-breasted jackets usually have one buttonhole on left-hand and one on the right-hand side?

[@JohnJApanovitch]

I think having a pocket square and tie the same color would be cool, but I have never worn a pocket square before.

[@micheljeanlitetdit994]

Thanks!

[@atopalian]

who makes that striped orange shirt with white french cuff collars?

[@MihirGVaze]

how do u store your pocketsquares in your wardrobe?

[@nigelmatthew8534]

Next, talk about Lapel pins ?

[@singletotakentv9583]

Is it okay to apply this with a three piece suit or would that be too much?

[@bryanpangestu2344]

Can u teach me color pallette that match my skintone

[@tipptop9]

Advert for Primark on the Gentelmans Gazette... 🤣

[@jacobstromburg5803]

Are the pockets on suit jackets supposed to be like one inch deep? Cuz mine are.

[@TheIQ999]

Are you sure you opened it all the way down? Because they are oftened bought with the pocket still sown (is that the correct form? I'm from Germany:D) closed

[@connorism69]

I have never had a problem with people matching solid-colour ties and pocket squares... It can look a bit off when they have matching patterns, but when they are pattern-free I think it looks fine and coordinated.

[@connorism69]

That tie you're wearing looks stunning by the way.

[@crunchwrapsupreme8812]

Pocket squares are used as emergency bibs when the restaurant has no napkins

[@dusanveselka3240]

so, what you are saying, no pocket square with a tweed jacket?

[@christianrodriguez3531]

Don't really know why I watch these videos, I don't even own a dress, or a tie, or a pocket square for that matter, maybe some ill fitting shirts and here I am watching a ten minute video about pocket squares, oh well...

[@ybhall]

How is a pocket square not practical? I thought the pocket square in your jacket was for the lady, and therefore put to use from time to time.

[@FTL87]

The handkerchief is for the lady, not the pocket square. Once the handkerchief has been used, you can't put in back in the front pocket.

[@ТомаДаракчиев]

I lost my pocket square yesterday and I am very sad watching this video

[@jakubnienadowski1717]

4:57 wasn't it this just mentioned overcolouring? For me it's too much, but I wanna ask- is it?

[@blonk182]

If you focus on his nose his eyebrows seem to disappear

[@Ultharclub]

"Never match a pocket square exactly to your tie" Thank you, Raph, you,ve just ruined my wedding outfit!... Ok, I've git 2 weeks to fix it.....

[@davorzdralo8000]

Meh, it's one of those nonsensical arbitrary rules that has zero functional backing. Wear whatever makes you look good.

[@MrTruthislight]

Don't u stretch the pockets of your expensive jacket?

[@MrMcChito]

To use a lapel and pocket square combo with tie is too much going on.

[@DEHDON13]

We can't see because of the words on the screen

[@DX100HHH]

Isn't the jacket a little too broad in arms?

[@danelisslow3269]

"you can have just the tips show" Uh, phrasing

[@TheTimeDetective42]

Mate you dress WAY too well! Is there such a thing as too much attention?

[@tprnbs]

You should NEVER match tie color to pocket sqare color

[@WWETheDeadManDTF]

tprnbs Yes you should. You just shouldn't match solid or base colour. Match the colour of the tie-pattern and the pocketsquares base colour.

[@guitarcleveland]

I must be blind since most of these combinations don't look they match at all to me

[@peterkolovos3079]

Disagree on pocket square not matching tie. I prefer the tie/square sets.

[@kanker5256]

12:15 - 😶 raph, please go do a color vision check

[@MrTrenttness]
