I've put more more details of the thoughts behind the outfit and the brands in my blog post.
The marketing director of Kent Wang reached out to me to see if I wanted to feature some of their squares on the blog and agreed for several reasons:
I’ve had a few companies contact me to get their product featured but until now I’ve always refused because I’d never wear their products in real life. Kent Wang was different - I already own a number of their grenadine ties, linen pocket squares, silver knot cufflinks and one of their long sleeve polos. I like their product and I like the company.
I was really thrilled that they reached out to me and got the idea of taking five squares and featuring them in a number of different outfits. Most guys wear their squares with suits and ties but there’s no reason it has to be that way.
Over the next few days, I’ll be featuring five different squares worn casually and in the traditional way.

Actually what I wore last Friday. The versatility of that green jacket makes me think that I need a green suit in a same shade - maybe even a very soft DB.

This is a great reminder of the striking genius that is the simple combination of a silver tie, white shirt, dark suit. There's a reason this is so appropriate for weddings!

I was actually considering it this morning and went instead with a burgundy tie, striped shirt and POW check coat, but am now kicking myself for wanting to complicate things.

@Gerry Nelson, that is an outstanding low contrast fit. Love it.

Looking sharp as ever, @Cotton Dockers!
