The history of the pocket square
According to history, the small scarf was introduced into use by King Richard II of England. Initially, his role was exclusively of a hygienic nature. Later, in the 18th century, this piece of soft fabric was necessary for men who sniffed tobacco. When sneezing, a piece of tissue should always be at hand, so it was moved to the chest pocket. In the twentieth century, the product for the breast pocket began to be folded in various ways. The accessory is no longer a simple rectangle made of soft fabric.

Purpose of the scarf
The main function of a scarf in a breast pocket is decorative. It does not carry any semantic load and does not imply its use for its intended purpose. In case of a runny nose or sneeze, a man should have a separate white accessory; it is usually worn in the back pocket of his trousers. Pasha plays the role of a bright accent in the entire image, attracting the attention of others to the man’s appearance.
That is why when choosing a scarf you should be guided by brightness. A remarkable ornament, print or color will definitely dilute a boring classic look and attract the attention of others. However, it should be remembered that the pasha should only emphasize, but not stand out.
What materials is the pasha scarf made from?
A fabric rectangle for a breast pocket is usually made of expensive, beautiful materials in order to effectively combine with a tie and suit fabric from which a man’s outfit is sewn. Most often this is:
- silk;
- cotton;
- wool;
- cashmere.

When choosing a scarf, you need to be guided by the balance of textures. If the tie is made of silk, it is recommended to choose a thick cotton pache. Conversely, if the tie is made of wool, a silk scarf with an unusual pattern will do.
Color combination of scarf and suit
The product must be bright, but at the same time subdued, in order to attract attention to the person, but not draw it back to itself. If a tie is provided, then the neck accessory should be the main accent of the image.
The suit can be chosen in any shade, bright casual or strict classic. You shouldn’t choose a plain pasha to match the color of your suit; it’s better to find a more original and attractive option. Products with prints or textured fabrics are suitable.
