For the Groom: Pocket Squares

Floral

Floral prints are all the rage right now, and these fun and whimsical patterns work great with a simple suit. Be wary of pairing these with a traditional tux. The bursts of color are a bit too bold. 

Pastel

Pastels look especially great for a winter or spring wedding. The soft colors lend themselves to a variety of styles, whether you’re planning an outdoor wedding or a classic church wedding. The nice thing with these colors is they can look great with almost anything, but the pops of color can be a bit bold for a traditional black suit or tux. 
 

Classic

For a classic wedding ensemble, 417-land grooms are leaning more toward dark gray and navy suits, which go great with a bright red pocket square. Pair that with a solid red tie or a solid light blue tie to match the blue paisley pattern.

Knit

These knit pocket squares offer a nod to their vintage counterparts but with a dash of modern style. They look great paired with a modern dark gray suit but also look sharp when worn with a tuxedo.
