Comments on: Accessories Are a Necessity : The Pocket Square http://streetetiquette.com/2009/11/09/accessories-are-a-necessity-the-pocket-square/ Where high fashion meets the streets Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:42:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Richard http://streetetiquette.com/2009/11/09/accessories-are-a-necessity-the-pocket-square/comment-page-2/#comment-3660 Richard Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:14:36 +0000 http://streetetiquette.com/?p=1922#comment-3660 Here we see a difference between those of us raised in the (ancient) SE of the US and other folks. When wearing a jacket, I have one (full) handkerchief in a back pants pocket...that's for anything I may need. I have another, always of finest, white cotton, with fully hand-stitched, rolled or turned edges, hand folded by me to any one of four different sets of "peaks" in my breast pocket. The sole purpose of the latter is to be grasped by one peak and snapped out with a gentle flourish to offer to a damsel in distress. It must always be pristinely white for this purpose. Folks need to learn - keep teaching. Here we see a difference between those of us raised in the (ancient) SE of the US and other folks.

I really like your top combination. However for the bottoms, would it make a person look shorter if you rolled up the jeans like that? Wow u got great style man. I really like your top combination.

Great look on the complex link I'm very appreciative to even have my picture up there. Great people at complex <strong>Dapper932</strong> : It's funny you bring that up because recently we decided on not putting ads up on Street Etiquette even though we have a few brands that were interested in doing so. We'll keep the site the way it is the same clean aesthetic and like we're doign right now just focus on building our readership and making the site better the money is not the primary focus here it will come as a asset for your good work, I like to think at least. <strong>Cheif</strong> : Thanks man appreciate it , lol funny take note <strong>Jord </strong>: Thanks a lot yeah that's actually me pictured above lol , it's ok though. Yes the fashion blog thing is pretty out there by now especially by female style bloggers. The men's style blog is still in developing stages I like to think it is a great place to express any kind of ideas you would like to communicate with your readers. The only thing I would advise is you don't have to necessarily know your direction from the jump ( we didn't ) of things but keep working to a place to make your site appear unique among the masses. Keep thinking on how you could make your blog better to readers man, peace good luck. <strong>David</strong> : Yup , that first paragraph hits it right on the head concerning males just being a little bit too scared to go shopping by themselves. I see it everyday since working in the retail environment with guys coming in with their girlfriends and being indecisive on what to purchase. Yeah I know what you mean in a way you can't really fight that label off. <strong>Devon</strong> : Very good point Devon that applies to those of us who love wearing them without a problem , to the people a little unsure it may be a different story. btw great link there <strong>Only Cure</strong> : Thanks man that's what we thought one of the aspects of our site would be and it looks like its definitely working, like I said 'one' of the aspects lol we hope to inspire different things in people to approach different styles , we're all growing accordingly ! Topman trousers as far as I'm concerned fit pretty alright for the price go on in there and try them on lol, I have to say the skinny navy blue trousers I have are one of the best fitting trousers I ever purchased lol. <strong>Ralph G </strong>: Thanks for the good words man hopefully this post helped directed into the right way of buying some, try it out . <strong>Jerry St. Aubin</strong> : Thanks Jerry , it takes a lot to keep pushing on stronger post but it's a interesting challenge because it puts you in a position to excel in the long run just by keeping that thought in your head I guess. Your right on that man get into it! Rez : Thanks man

The pocket square really is capturing it offers individuality to any oxford shirt capable of utlizing it. It Can Pretty Much Spice Any Outfit, Possiblities Are Endless With This Acessory. Great Post. Also Love The Fit. Great Post bro consistency is sometimes hard to uphold but you and trav always deliver stronger and open more eyes with each post.

I definitely need to step my game up on pocket squares and skinny trousers. How do the trousers at Topman fit? the cheap ($40) ones. Keep it up, brother.

I particularly love how pocket squares are capable of upgrading even the most casual look. The only problem though is that once you start wearing them you almost feel naked when you don’t rock one.

And, thinking of how things are changing in the fashion industry I think that any guy that shops with his girlfriend, which is like almost 90% of the men in the world, that do need these sort of blogs because in a way they lack confidence not only in their fashion choices it is just that they are so homophobic that they do not want to be categorized as gay. Which 9 times out of 10, they lack male reassurance in themselves and it comes out in the most obvious way. With that statement there I could develop a whole new conversation, and just because I know you have an idea of what I am talking about I will leave it there. Plus, still on the topic of a blog like yours I received a comment that really tickled me, from someone who is new to blogging (fashion blogging). That is a category in which, I would not like to label my blog under, but in a way it is. And, it is funny to me because he asked me for some advice on it and I thought to myself that how can I give someone advice on a topic of blogging that I do not incorporate myself with. I know you have read some of my posts and it is kind of funny how so many people categorize my blog as a fashion blog. I do love fashion and the art of dress because, no matter how people slice it, life is an art in any aspect of it. And, that is sort of what I try to depict in my blog as well as my life, and I am going to try to expand through my brand/company/movement of Selected Few. Only if a person has been an avid follower of me as I have been to you and Trav can you say you have a certain vision of how we think and even then a person’s view of us is still too narrow. I know you and Trav would agree to this paragraph to a point which may be a little jumbled or not. I cannot stress enough that my thoughts are always one or more steps ahead/away from many people in the industry we are currently indulged in right now. I think you would completely agree with that statement as well. Ha..Ha..
