Silk has the properties of not only feeling very luxurious but is also the perfect material for luminous colours as the light hits it from different angles you can get different pops of colour, which adds real interest to an outfit. We use the finest mulberry silk and the quality of the fabric can be seen in the texture and the level of detail and vibrancy of the finished product. The extensive shades of blue available mean we have a huge range of blue pocket squares for every occasion, whether it be a job interview, business meeting or you're looking for a blue pocket square for groomsmen and the groom. They feature carefully selected artwork motifs, beautifully printed on high-quality silk and well handcrafted with nice hand-rolled edges etc. A variation that is also a classic combination with navy is pairing with burgundy/red/burnt orange as they are adjacent to yellow on the opposite side of the colour wheel, and also produce a high contrast that pairs beautifully with the dark blue navy hues.

Those based on old paintings and prints have the advantage that you can fold them in infinite ways, effectively giving you scores of squares in one. Utilising the colour wheel, there are some basic rules to follow that will ensure your outfit always looks harmonious.Finally, we do get asked whether you should refer to it as a pocket square, pocket handkerchief, suit handkerchief or even the French term pochette. The paisley shape and design are classic across men's accessories, especially paisley pocket squares.

To dry your pocket square after washing, it should be laid out to air dry, avoiding direct heat or sunlight. This gives our products the beautiful soft feel that people associate with high-quality silk products while allowing the design to bleed through evenly on both sides. The flat colour is pretty self-explanatory, and we would always recommend you have at least one white pocket square in your wardrobe.The combinations range from a very subtle complementary colour matching, in the first image, through to more obviously paired colours in the second and third images. Therefore, the safest choice is to wear a plain or very lightly patterned square in a presidential fold such as the one below.

Our Abduction of Ganymede pocket square is a good example of the vibrancy that working with silk provides. The simplest to achieve is the puff fold with your pocket square, which involves pinching the centre of the square and then twisting or folding it, before placing it in your breast pocket so that the corners are at the bottom and the central design remains visible.We feel that the precision and care our skilled artisans take, gives each square its unique character, finish and feel. Our huge collection of blue pocket squares and blue handkerchiefs feature traditional favourites and exclusive designs, but all are handmade in Britain to give you premium pocket squares for men. Whether you're looking for a pre-folded pocket square (folded and sewn into a cardboard sleeve for convenience), or a traditional handkerchief, almost all our products are available in both options.
