Ralph Lauren Pocket Square

THE ASKMEN TAKE

This item appears in our Fall Fashion Preview 2009.

Deceptively simple, in 100% silk with white polka dots, the St. James pocket square from Ralph Lauren is perhaps one of the most versatile accessories you’ll acquire this fall. Made in Italy with a subtle yet visible logo, the craftsmanship and style alone are worth the price. If you're looking for that extra something special to reinvent your favorite suit jacket, then consider this pocket square; it has just enough sartorial punch to give your look some class this season. 

UNIQUENESS

OK, so a polka-dotted pocket square may not push the envelope in men’s fashion, but that’s not the point here. A pocket square is a classic accoutrement for any man, and as men the world over return to the basics of formal wear, Ralph Lauren's pocket square puts you in front of this growing trend. So, while you may not begin wearing a pocket square every day, you will want to have one just like this to reinvigorate your wardrobe -- or dress it up when need be.

DURABILITY

An Italian silk pocket square is not for the low-maintenance type as it must be dry-cleaned periodically. However, if you think you’re too young (or too cool) in your slim modern suit for the elegant aplomb the Ralph Lauren St. James pocket square will add to your look, then think again. Men’s fashion is always about the details, and if you opt for the blue St. James, its versatile color combination will allow you to wear it with suit jackets from brown to black, with window patterns to pinstripes.
