This one is for Clinton Kelly.

If Mr. Kelly, of TLC's What Not to Wear, has pushed one fashion accessory on the American public it is the pocket square. Unfortunately, very few of the very few men that appear on the show are open to said square. Why not? What's the big deal?

Do people think squares are for squares? Probably. Not us. We agree, Clinton, a bold silk handkerchief in a man's coat pocket can add just the right amount of pop to his ensemble.


The people at Royal Silk concur. This is what they have to say: "If anything defines style, it is silk handkerchiefs. It is the best way to look sharp, elegant, and impressive. Nothing in the style book says that you have to match your handkerchief color to your tie color or shirt color or suit color. Real style means being playful and creative."

Please note, one should not actually use their bold piece of silk for common handkerchief duties. It is for style, not function. Do not wipe your nose with your pocket square. This cannot be stressed enough.

Get squared here.
