One of my favorite TV shows a few years ago was the indulgent Gossip Girl on the CW and I loved the character of Chuck with his various pocket squares. He always looked quite dapper even when he was plotting against poor Dan. I never did see him with a fresh floral pocket square, but if he had one, I think he would have looked great.
Here are a few steps on how to create a fancy floral pocket square that is fresh and new!
Supplies:
- The jacket you’ll be designing for as you’ll need to see how the lapel lays and how deep the pocket is and measure it for the cardboard.
- Stiff cardboard
- Floral Adhesive
- Fresh flowers that do well out of water
- Tape — Duct tape
