Accessorise Your Tuxedo With Geoff Stocker | The Sartorial Essentials
With party season upon us, you probably have your works Christmas party coming up which most likely is going to be a black tie dress code. If everyone wears a black dinner jacket, white shirt, black bow-tie and black patent shoes it can seem quite sartorially boring, which is where the pocket square comes in. Accessorising your tuxedo with a splash of colour is the easiest way to add your personality to your outfit in an eye catching way. Geoff Stocker specialises in these sartorial essentials with a vast collection of 100% silk pocket squares and scarfs.
Geoff Stocker, the menswear accessories designer is known for his eclectic and elegant designs, he showcases a twelve piece collection of meticulously measured, 100% satin silk pocket squares. Geoff celebrates British craftsmanship by manufacturing all designs in England and I have to say that the quality of the silk in these accessories is incredible. Silky and soft in a 30cm x 30cm size, it's easy to fold your pocket square in any designs that you love.
I've chosen 3 Geoff Stocker pocket squares and 1 scarf from their collection to show you visually how amazing your tuxedo can look with a touch of bold colours and patterns. The first pocket square (above) is The Jester in blue with a cream hand-rolled hem. Perfect for men who want to make a subtle statement to their outfit.
Last year at my works Christmas Party, I arrived in a silk scarf and recall a host of compliments from my work colleges. This one is perfectly made to wear with your dinner jacket, in a shortened 132cm by 17cm design which can also double-up to wear 'cravat style' inside a shirt. These 100% lightweight silk twill scarfs have a digitally printed pattern on one side and plain coloured on the reverse.
Next up are my favourite two pocket squares, they are bolder, they are brighter for someone who wants to stand out from the crowd and look his dapper best. The design above is The Avebury in a red palette, which stands out incredibly against a black or navy dinner jacket suit. The design below is The Rajah and the one I'm wearing is the copper green design.
What is your favourite look out of the four that I've styled?
