The Pocket Square: 22 Essential Folds

By Alexander Phillips

Book Overview

When, where, and how should a gentleman wear the perfect pocket square? This bold accessory adds the final flourish and character to a well-dressed man's wardrobe. As delightfully entertaining as it is useful, the guide features twenty-two pocket square folds, from the simple and elegant Presidential to the complex and flamboyant Bouquet. Each fold is accompanied by easy-to-follow diagrams, bold color illustrations of how to wear a pocket square with panache, and brief descriptions and advice on when to wear each style.

Quotes from leading men synonymous with elegance and distinction from every decade--Cary Grant, Oscar Wilde, the Duke of Windsor, Fred Astaire, and Yves Saint Laurent--provide style inspiration.
