It's hip to be square - updated 為西裝加分的小配件---口袋巾 pocket square

If you really want to step up your manly game, follow in the footsteps of Winston Churchill, James Bond, etc. and rock a pocket square - it adds color, flair and some personal eccentricity to any suit.

如果你真的想要變紳士,那就要一定要像溫斯頓.邱吉爾,詹姆士龐德等人學習.
口袋巾可以讓整體造型更有特色,不同的顏色,不同的層次,也可以展現出每個人的獨一無二

Never leave a suit bare. A suit without a pocket square is like a spartan without his shield. It lacks panache and looks naked. Don't leave home looking half-dressed!

千萬別傻傻的穿上西裝就出門. 西裝沒搭配口袋巾猶如斯巴達勇士沒了盾牌.
看起來單調,似乎也少了點威風

Toby: If only I had a pocket!!!
Toby說: 要是我也有口袋巾就好了!!!

以下三種是最基本的口袋巾摺法

1. The straight fold

3. The puff fold.

1. 一字型摺法
2. 單角摺法
3. 熱氣球摺法

If you are on a budget and want to rock a variety of squares without spending tons of cash, there are some simple tips that can help.

如果有預算考量,但還是要耍個酷,以下有一些實用的小撇步可以幫的上忙.

1. Use your pocket - often a good suit jacket or blazer pocket can simply be turned inside out to create the illusion of sporting a nice, one-corner fold pocket square:

1. 遠在天邊,近在眼前,用你的口袋! 好的西裝外套通常都有簡單的口袋花色,且口袋內裡是可以掏出來的.像圖二,把口袋內裡掏出來後,可以營造出單角折口袋巾的錯覺.

Hmmm, what's missing?

Abracadabra! All David Blaine-d out!

 Voila!
快看!

2. Purchase a good duo, straight fold pocket square from a fashionable brand, like Red Eleven, and you have 2 options in 1:

2. 買個雙色一字型的口袋巾, 例如Red Eleven(我的選擇)

這樣一來,買一個口袋巾,就有兩個顏色可以用了!

It may LOOK like I'm holding only a fancy lens-wipe, but...

POW! 'Splash' of color!

BAM! Purple ball in corner pocket!

3. Finally, buy a decent pocket square in a single color of your choice and fold it in any of the 3 styles:

3. 最後,還是得選一個正式點,自己很喜歡的單色口袋巾.再來就是三選一一個基本的摺法

It's time to look STYLIN'!

There you have it, 4 rocking styles for the price of 2, allowing you to enhance any look from OW... to WOW!!!

然後就完工了! 總共有4種選擇性,但只需要付2個口袋巾的錢 !?

(1. 口袋內裡的錯覺, 2.雙色之一  3. 雙色之二 4. 正式口袋巾)

很簡單,對吧?

這只是第一步,接下來還會有更多文章介紹口袋巾,也會再分享更多造型.
