men's pocket squares

Frequently Asked Questions

What pocket squares does Boggi Milano Lebanon sell?

Boggi Milano Lebanon sells men’s pocket squares across several fabrics, colours and patterns, including:

• White linen pocket squares – the most formal option; standard for black-tie and business formal
• White cotton pocket squares – a slightly softer alternative to linen for business and smart occasions
• Printed silk pocket squares in geometric, paisley and abstract designs
• Patterned pocket squares with contrast piping or border detail
• Seasonal coloured pocket squares that complement the season’s tie and suit palette

All pocket squares are designed to pair naturally with the brand’s men’s suits, men’s ties and bow ties and men’s cufflinks for a complete formal accessories approach.

How do I fold a pocket square for a suit jacket?

The most widely used pocket square folds for men are:

• Flat fold (presidential fold) – the simplest and most formal; fold into a rectangle and show a single clean edge above the pocket. Suited to white linen and cotton pocket squares in formal settings
• One-point fold – fold diagonally into a triangle and show a single point. Versatile and works with both formal and patterned squares
• Two-point fold – fold diagonally with the two points slightly offset from each other. More casual than a flat fold; suited to patterned silk squares
• Puff fold – gather the fabric at the centre and push into the pocket with the gathered fabric showing. The most casual of the four; suited to informal and smart-casual occasions

For formal occasions, the flat fold is the most correct. For smart-casual and social events, a one-point fold or puff provides more personality while remaining appropriate.

Should my pocket square match my tie?

A pocket square should complement the tie rather than match it exactly. Matching a pocket square and tie in the same fabric and pattern is considered a dated look and is best avoided. The correct approach is to pick up one colour from the tie in the pocket square – if the tie is navy with a burgundy stripe, a plain burgundy or white pocket square works well. A white linen pocket square is always appropriate regardless of the tie, making it the safest choice when in doubt. For those without a tie, a pocket square alone adds a considered detail to a suit without the formality that a tie requires.

What fabric are Boggi Milano pocket squares made from?

Boggi Milano pocket squares are made from three main fabrics, each suited to different occasions and folding styles:

• Linen – the most formal fabric; holds a crisp flat fold well and is the traditional choice for business formal and black-tie occasions. White linen is the classic formal pocket square
• Cotton – slightly softer than linen; holds structure but drapes more naturally. Suited to business and smart-casual occasions
• Silk – the most luxurious and most versatile for patterned and printed designs. Drapes naturally and suits puff or one-point folds. The right choice for printed and patterned styles

Linen and cotton pocket squares are best for flat and one-point folds in formal settings. Silk pocket squares are best for puff and loose folds in smart-casual and social occasions.

Are pocket squares a good gift from Boggi Milano Lebanon?

A pocket square from Boggi Milano Lebanon is an excellent gift for men who wear suits or attend formal occasions. It requires no sizing, is immediately usable, and represents a considered and personal gift choice that most men would not routinely buy for themselves. A white linen pocket square is the most universally useful – it works with any suit and any occasion. A printed silk style is more personal and adds character to a formal wardrobe. Boggi Milano Lebanon’s branded packaging makes a pocket square a clean and premium gifting option. For a complete formal accessories gift, a pocket square paired with a silk tie or cufflinks from the same range makes a well-considered combination.
