Whether you’re someone who gets dressed up on a daily basis or only dusts off their suit once every leap year, having your own bowtie and pocket square set can help to personalize your look and add a much-needed touch of fashion and flair to your style, helping to pull the entire outfit together.
A bowtie and pocket square combo are typically worn with tuxes, but as fashion continues to evolve, people are pairing this formal set with a more casual suit, vest or even a simple collared shirt. A pocket square placed neatly in the back pocket can help refresh an old classic and force others to use the term ‘dapper’ to describe your style. It’s a lovely word and we want to bring it back.
A bowtie and pocket square set makes a great gift, whether you’re looking for an item for your groomsman (and ensuring they all match), or you want to celebrate someone’s prom, graduation, religious event, new job or birthday. And, if you’re dressing up your little ones for Sunday church or an upcoming wedding, these matching sets are sure to make your little man look absolutely adorable.
Whatever the event, bring your look together with a bowtie and pocket square set that shows you put in the extra effort. It’s matching without being matchy-matchy.
