Men’s Pocket Squares at M&S

Men's Ties FAQs

How do you fold a pocket square?

There are various ways to fold a pocket square, but the simplest method is to crease the handkerchief down the middle and then bend the upper part downwards. For small breast pockets, you can fold it three times. A classic pocket square in a shade that complements your tie or suit is a considered choice for formal occasions. Look out for patterned or vibrant-coloured designs to add character to your outfit at casual events.

What are the ways you can style a pocket square?

Pocket squares add a refined finishing touch to tailored suits and blazers. For a timeless look, opt for a flat presidential fold that leaves a crisp horizontal line above the breast pocket. Alternatively, pinch the centre to create a relaxed, billowy puff fold for smart-casual events. Explore our collection of men’s pocket squares to find pure silk, textured linen and woven cotton designs in plain tones, vibrant paisley and classic polka-dot prints.

Looking dapper is all about the details, like our men’s pocket squares. Browse elegant pure silk and satin pieces in an array of colours – from pastels, cream and white to bolder blues and reds – to match your suit. You’ll find understated monochrome options and styles sporting fun patterns like paisley, florals or polka dots. Look out for neat touches like hand-stitched edges and double-sided designs that you can switch depending on your mood.

Perfect pocket-square styling needs a men’s tie in a matching or contrasting colour. Explore ties and bow ties in versatile, neutral shades like navy and grey, or reach for a forest green, butter yellow or pale pink option. Our men’s black ties are a go-to formal pick, pairing effortlessly with any colour of pocket square, while our men’s white ties are an elevated choice for weddings and summer events. Choose from men’s ties in silk and satin, with a delicate sheen that perfectly complements your smartest outfits. For ease of care, our machine-washable cotton ties for men hold their shape wash after wash.

Our full sartorial selection includes everything from men’s formal shirts and dress shirts for pairing with dinner jackets, to quality handkerchiefs for men.
