Style is all in the details. There is no easier way to elevate a man’s appearance than with a sophisticated pocket square—done right, of course. James Ferragamo (yes, of that Ferragamo family) knows a thing or two about creating a fashion-forward look. “Men are rediscovering the art of sporting a pocket square,” he says. “With a pop of unexpected color and texture, a clean, flawless presentation can be tempered with a dapper charm.”

Given the explosion of menswear in recent years, brands like Ferragamo offer a plethora of pocket square options, from minimalist solid colors to whimsical prints and patterns. The beauty of the pocket square lies in its individuality: Pick one that expresses your personal style. “The age of street style has not lost the finesse of sharp tailored dressing and fine Italian craftsmanship,” Ferragamo adds. “If anything, the peacocking of modern men has come to celebrate and expand on details that nod to la dolce vita.”
