Rules for wearing a shawl in the pocket of a jacket

A simple breastplate is older than a modern man's suit for at least several centuries. Who among us does not remember what role this small piece of cloth played in Shakespeare's Othello? Although, many argue that this man's accessory has its roots since the Renaissance, when to the court of Richard II brought from behind the ocean square napkins for hygiene. Since then, the breast pocket has become an integral part of the modern costume, and you can watch it in the jackets of presidents, Hollywood stars, businessmen and ordinary citizens watching their image. By right, the square flap of tissue has potential, and is able to take its rightful place among the male A-class accessories.

To properly wear a socks in your jacket pocket and look respectable, we suggest listening to the advice of designers:

• Avoid monochromy accessories with costumes. According to the stylists, the handkerchief should not exactly repeat the color and pattern of the suit, in particular the jacket. The accessory should be of some interest in terms of pattern or color.
• The nosepiece should be perfectly clean and neatly folded. Very often in turmoil, you can accidentally snag a handkerchief, so from time to time look at your breastplate, always watch its cleanliness, neatness and elegant form of styling.
• Always wear two handkerchiefs: one for beauty, and one for cleanliness. Never use a breast accessory as a hygiene item. Always have a spare handkerchief, keep it in the back pocket of your trousers or inside the jacket pocket to be ready for any surprises.
• Do not use machine-stitched products designed specifically for the chest pockets of jackets. As a rule, they look flat and have an abundance of sticking threads out of the seams. Use nosoviki and fold them nicely by hand to emphasize the completed look. In addition, the handkerchief can always be folded in completely different shapes.

Tips:

• Begin to form your image with the basic outfit, and select accessories according to the color of the garments. For example, a breast shawl with a burgundy shade is perfectly combined with a burgundy tie.
• Begin the purchase of accessories from kerchiefs of universal colors and patterns. Products of simple colors( white, black, gray) without a pattern are easily combined with any jacket. As for the pattern, the eternal motifs never go out of fashion. This can be a chess pattern, polka dots or a "paisley" pattern.
