Accessorizing isn't for everyone, but I suggest you start mastering your look by incorporating a carefully chosen pocket square. (For those that aren't familiar with the term, a pocket square is worn as an accessory in the breast pocket of a suit coat or jacket, and is approximately the size of small napkin or a handkerchief.)

Pocket squares serve an aesthetic purpose, and if you're wary of prints or patterns, you can begin with a simple solid-colored choice. White is minimalistic, elegant, and understated, and goes well with most suits.

For those that are interested in using accessories as a means of self-expression, a dashing pocket square gets the message across nicely.

A great way of being bold in your choice of what is otherwise fairly standard attire, adding a pocket square that reflects your personality is also a way to reinvent your office and evening look without breaking the bank.
