Do you wear them with a suit and tie?

Why or why not?

Personally no

Worry about your buttons first.

They sell the pocket squares pre-folded on a piece of cardboard, if you're really lazy.

Never both at same time. Getting more and more gay now that every try-hard out there does it

Tie bars and ascots are where it’s at

I don't wear a tie, at all. What is this 1985?

I will wear a pocket square on occasion outside the office but never in my professional life. I think a well-folded pocket square and a well-tied and properly dressed tie just looks sharp.

While tie clips and bars have come back in style I still associate them with smarmy used car salesmen with grease from lunch still on their hands and mayo on their tie.

Being in my early 50s chasing GQ's newest look is kinda in my rear view. I bristle at thin ties and narrow lapels as well. Fake handstitched suits look ghastly to me also.

I don’t.

My new style is wake up 20 minutes before a teams call and put on a shirt, tie jacket and sit butt arse naked for my team calls.

I wear pocket squares periodically. It's a nice look.

Tie bars are pretty rare for me.

Columbia fishing shirts are now the preferred dressy attire.

I typically match the cufflinks to the tie and then matching the tie pin to the jewelry. Platinum or gold depending upon my complexion more than the season.

I fricking hate dressing up for work. I probably look like a slob but every time I go to a meeting I feel like everyone has a custom tailor and I just stepped out of a Ross.

I always wear a pocket square when I go on sales calls. It is part of our company dress code. No tie, but sport coat with a hanky or pocket square and the company lapel pin. Its a sharp look. I don't mind wearing it. Haven't had to wear it much this year. Shorts and T-shirt are my typical pandemic attire. Our Teams calls don't require us to dress up unless we are speaking with customers. The pandemic sucks.

Have no need for suits for work.

Anytime I wear a suit it’s strictly a social event. My son gave me a cuff link and tie bar set years ago that I always wear. It’s a Darth Vader set and I fricking love them. I have others but they’ve never been out of the box. Anything other than formal, I’ll sport a pocket square (my tux jacket doesn’t have a real pocket).
