Hi all, time for another fabulous giveaway! And this month we’re partnering with Rampley and Co. to give away a free, splendid pocket square valued at over $100!!

Here are a couple examples of the dozens the winner gets to pick from! Each pocket square, designed in London, is not only dazzling and truly unique, but that also tells a story, be that of a depicted painting, or the artist or designer, or some concept behind the work. Also, the company is sure that each square comes with a hand-rolled edge to give each accessory a plumper, heavier feel and look.

It’s easy to enter and win the square - fill out the form below and let it rip! Contest is open to US and Canadian residents, 18+ years. One entry per person please. End date is June 19, 2015 at 11:59pm. Entries may be added to the Rampley & Co. newsletter subscription list upon entry.

Good luck, everyone!

As promised, more wisdom on pocket squares. Here’s an easy one to compute: Don’t ever use a green colored pocket square. Sure, it might half-work with a pure white suit, but you’re not going to wear a bleached suit (unless you’re JT, respect) and it won’t go with any other kind of suit color.

Feasible: Your standard white linen pocket square

A white pocket square, however, works with every imaginable suit color. Blue, navy, black, gray, white, red (but don’t you dare buy one) - it’s simple, it’s distinct, don’t get it dirty and learn how to fold it (see? Even Details can get it right).

INFEASIBLE: Yellow St. James Spots pocket square

Pocket squares can make or break a suit. This particular one from Ralph Lauren, or any yellow square with dots one it for that matter, will break any suit. What gaudy crap.

Feasible: Light yellow pocket squares

This is a marvelous pocket square. Silk, nice colors, gentle design, not the blinding in the slightest. It may be a little too effeminate for some of you, which in this case I’d go with something like this:
