We Like – Reiss SS13 Pocket Squares

Pochettes, pocket squares, handkerchiefs – call them what you want but don’t underestimate them as a key must-have accessory this Spring/Summer. Reiss is the go-to for the season’s most original, on-trend prints so we’ve picked six versatile designs from their collection for you.

Lose the weight of winter and swap heavy paisley and tweed prints for this season’s lighter minimalist designs. To maximize this trend opt for silk and linen over cotton to literally lighten up your outfit. Paired with a tailored linen suit and crisp white shirt, you’ll go from a winter washout to a dapper gent instantly.

We recommend picking a selection of designs that you can mix and match throughout the season. Look at handkerchiefs as pocket-sized pieces of art. Abstract patterns are on trend when picking from this season’s minimalist prints so be brave and go bold. Think about offsetting neutral suit colours with vibrant shades for a look that will last beyond spring, right through to autumn. Our top picks are the ‘Gunsmoke’, ‘Abyss’ and ‘Buckaroo’ squares pictured. If, on the other hand, you are sporting one of this season’s coloured suits then steer towards a simple black and white print with an eye-catching pattern like the ‘Boffin’ style below.
