Here at Uptown Chic often wonder if men truly understand what it means to have a clean finish to their outfit. The “pocket square” is a perfect accessory that completes any blazer look you desire. It adds that polished feel and can also act as that pop of color one needs to accentuate your tailored look. Whether it be semi casual wear with jeans and a cool blazer or a black tie event, it’s crucial to add that final touch to finish off a clean silhouette.
