🎩 Style Fun Fact: Did You Know?

The suit jacket’s left breast pocket was originally designed for… your pocket square – not your phone, wallet, or receipts! 😅

Back in the day, men carried a clean handkerchief in their trouser pocket for practical use (think blowing your nose or offering it to a lady). The chest pocket? That was purely for style – to show off a folded square of fabric that added color, flair, and personality.

So the next time you’re suiting up, remember:

📍 Pocket square in the jacket

📍 Handkerchief in the trousers

📍 And your confidence? Worn everywhere.

Style isn’t just about looking good—it’s about knowing the why behind what you wear.

Now we want to hear from YOU!

🧠 And bonus: What’s one "style rule" you used to follow that you’ve now broken (or redefined)?
