So you  might be asking yourself, "Why is a packet square an essential when wearing a suit"? Well I will tell you, at least in my opinion it is one of those little details that transforms a man. It is the small details that make all the difference. A pocket square SCREAMS class!

I have decided to post this because I believe to many of us are missing this essential element of a suit and because their are a few things you should know before you go jumping into adding a pocket square to your arsenal of fashion treasures! First, how to fold them! That is addressed here and is a great guide on how-to fold for different events. One thing to keep in mind is that the pre-folded packet squares look pre-folded and in turn look pretty bad! Avoid them at all costs!

Second, is matching / coloring. This is so important. Many companies today sell matching ties, pocket squares, and cufflings. This is a horrible fashion no-no! A white pocket square is always safe. It is conservative, clean,  and classy and you can't ever go wrong! If you choose to go with a colored pocket square, it should match in the sense that it coordinates.

For Example:
A red tie with a blue accent color could be matched with a pocket square that compliments the blue in the tie. It should have a different pattern and not look like it was made to match the tie. Here is an example in photo. You can see how the red pocket square is a great compliment to the tie. Patterns are similar but not the same. Remember if you want to be safe, white is always a great choice. You can't ever go wrong!

Many of the men who trained to be Mormon Missionaries have gone on to become among the most distinguished persons in America business and civic life.

Before setting out in orderly pairs to spread their gospel door-to-door, nearly all U.S. Mormon missionaries pass through the Provo Missionary Training Center. Inside the sprawling brown-brick complex, thousands of 19- and 20-year-old men in oversized black suits work alongside women in below-the-knee skirts and brightly colored tops. All of them wear name tags. Click here to read more ==>

 

BRAD GILL | MY STORY - 

My entire life I’ve been surrounded by builders. At every school I have attended, in every home my family has lived in, and just about everywhere I have gone, there has seemed to be major construction going on. It’s never been a bother to me, and in fact, I've always found it very intriguing.


Growing up, my family moved pretty often. My father would design a home, take a couple of years to build it, and then we would live in it for another couple of years. This process repeated several times from elementary school through high school. I would consider my father one of the greatest builders I know, not just for the amazing homes that he’s built, but for the people he has built up.


I think of the great people that have influenced my life including my family, teachers, and friends and I realize that that is what I want to be: a builder. I love making things and being creative, but my education and experiences are just arrows that lead me toward that goal. Building others, that is the greatest thing I can do.

Here is a quick video for all you college students who don't have money to start your business venture but still have the fire in your belly! There is plenty of things you can do that don't cost a dime! Enjoy!
