My mom and Scott have one thing in common : They love pocket squares.
Ma mère et Scott ont un point commun : ils adorent les pochettes.
Ma mère et Scott ont un point commun : ils adorent les pochettes.
They’re both do this same thing : When I have one foot out the door, they tell me to hang on two seconds, and then they go sifting through their collection of little silk squares, and over they come with some trick of the hands, some folds and pulls to make a nice ruffle and then they stuff it into the little pocket of my jacket. Then they look at it with a satisfied smile, and give me a kiss.
Okay okay, I’ll stop with my exagerated description. They do it sometimes.
It took me way too long, but now I think it’s the chicest thing, and also it reminds me a gesture of love. Yeah yeah, I should say that I saw Bianca Jagger and Lauren Hutton doing it too and it doesn’t take much more than that for me to think it’s the classiest thing ever.
So I can tell you that as soon as I saw Jennifer on the street yesterday, I jumped to take her picture!

C’est vrai que cela fait une touche très chic ! Jennifer est superbe ;-)

Trop mignon ces deux la.
J adore la photo et de foulard dans les cheveux mais je suis incapable de faire pareil!!!!

Cette nana est tellement jolie! sur n’importe qui d’autre le bandeau dans les cheveux ça fait un peu concierge mais sur elle c’est juste parfait !
Bisous Garance !

magnifique le foulard. cette manière de le nouer. et la pochette, indeed!
http://www.superbytimai.com
ah tiens excellente idée je n’y avais jamais pensé pour moi! Je me rappelle une photo divine de scott : un homme avec un bandana bleu jean en guise de pochette sur un costume en lin… d’une élégance!
HAHAH j’adoore…. Je crois que c’est le truc de tte une génération la pochette.. ma mère en mettait aussi à une époque….. (Tiens, d’ailleurs c’est en discutant de ça que je me rend comme compte qu’elle n’en met plus… lol)
MAis je trouve que ça donne un style, de la “gueule” à une veste quelconque (sur le même principe que la broche d’ailleurs,mais ça en revanche je n’en raffole absolument pas!!! )….
J’aime bcp cette photo ;)
ps: y’a un “me” de trop ds le 1er paragraphe… hihihi

Je trouve ça tellement chic moi aussi ! Mais je me suis toujours demandée comment bien plier le carré en soie , pour pas que ça ne fasse trop coincé ou trop “fourre tout” ! Jolie photo !
oh con ! elle a vraiment un air de julia roberts, c’est troublant! (je trouve)
this girl is a real beauty ! she looks incredibly chic !

C’est vrai que ça fait très chic! Elle est sublime, j’adore le foulard dans ses cheveux!

Love the white blazer with the polka dot handkerchief. :) A chic choice for this summer.

J’ai toujours trouvé ça un peu trop masculin mais pourquoi pas…
Ahhhh, mon grand-père faisait souvent ça, lui aussi, j’en ai récupéré quelques-uns, qui me rappellent la caresse de ses doigts fins sur ma joue. Merci Garance pour ce souvenir si doux, comme de la soie.
De façon plus pragmatique, entre toi qui nous montres des pois (MERCI AUSSI POUR ÇA !!!) et Fonelle qui a trouvé un nid, c’est clair qu’il y a un business du petit foulard chic à développer, Paris-NYC… Associez-vous les filles ;)
Bisous doux
Anne
Classe!
J’adhère ça ajoute une petite note chic vite fait bien fait !
Une photo certes mais très réussie ;)

I love the photo! The glasses are so cool :)
I’m not a fan of pocket squares though, but maybe it’s because I don’t know how to wear them.
I’ve never really given them much thought, big mistake
et moi j’adore ce bandeau dans ses cheveux :-)
omg!!! CHICISSIMO!!!

Le grand retour du plissé Hermès??? http://www.fut-il.com
Just beautiful! The photo, the light, the girl and the pocket square!!
Boaahhhh, Garance, this totally made me jump to the MrPorter website in a I-need-a-pocket-square-RIGHT-NOW-frenzy, only to realize that I have no idea how to use those things :-) Maybe you, or Scott, or your mother could teach some tricks! (I can only find super conservative ways to fold them online, nothing that looks even close to the way the pocket square is worn in the picture you took of Jennifer)
Love the head scarf/band….what is it and where is it from!
Very cute. I’ve never thought to wear one. However, it does make this white jacket look more “day time”. It’s a good idea.

I always feel it is the attention to details that separate others from the pack! Great Spring time inspiration photo…

You’re right, it is so chic! Just a tiny little thing on the jacket, that can make a difference! Beautiful photo!
White jacket and that blue “rose” on the side! Very nice detail!
Je vois que le soleil est de retour à New york ;°
Joli look mais la pochette reste quelque chose de trop rétro pour moi, en revanche j’admire la façon dont elle a noué son foulard.
Bise!
Il y a une très jolie idée sur une des photos de Scott, un italien ( évidemment)à mis un de ses gants en pochette, très sympa idée!
Mais comme ça, c’est un peu too much, trop fabriqué.
Oh Garance, I’m so glad you wrote this post! My dear Dad passed away almost 10 years ago and I got my love of fashion from him. He was a real satorialist, always paying attention to details like cufflinks and pocket squares. Other than his watch and signet ring, I don’t have anything of his to wear on a regular basis — until you just reminded me of his pocket squares that I’ve kept in my scarf drawer, occasionally wearing one at my neck with a sweater. I’m definitely going to start wearing them as they were meant to be worn. What a wonderful way to bring along a bit of my father on my adventures! Merci beaucoup, ma chere ami!
xo,
Jane
ce côté désuet me plaît
c’est devenu si rare
l’élégance discrète
la dignité du rituel
le charme de dire
“donner un baiser”
ça sonne comme une pochette.
I think she looks just like Alexa Chung !
Beautiful, classy & effortless
<3
now, i will wear a pocket square this week! such simple elegance.
http://dallianceswithsuitsandskirts.blogspot.com/
thank you ,I learned the pocket squares is very useful item for me!
What a great idea! I’d never thought of doing it myself, though I have no idea why! Definitely going to have to try this out soon. Thanks!
http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
Ha! Thought I was the only odd-ball girl to do this. Been collecting them for years. Just like striped tees they are suddenly easy to find again…
Thanks for the lovely photo!
Beautiful as ALWAYS, Garance.

Love her attention to detail! I’ve never owned a pocket square in my life, but I do have a ridiculous number of scarves, perhaps I can do some folding magic with some of the smaller ones and try this out? Ahh, who am I kidding? I can barely wear scarves as they are meant to be worn, I think I am missing that gene!
Tres Jolie! I also love the way she wears the scarf in her hair! I will try this!
I love this! it never occurred to me to wear a pocket square but I’m happy to give yet another use to all my silk scarves! Lovely photo!

Where are her sunglasses from? I love them!! I want a pair.
First things first. Lovely photo, woman, and outfit. But then, so glad to see you have some sun in NYC. Perhaps it will find its way north to Boston, where I am literally shivering at my desk on a dank, drizzly day.
Thanks, Garance, for a ray of sunshine that is so much more!
Garance – How did you manage?
You actually travelled to the future and took a picture of Alex Chung’s 36 year old self.
So cute! And I love that she pulled off both the pocket square and the turban…
I’d like to know about her head scaRF, DID SHE TIE IT OR IS IT A READY MADE HEAD PIECE?
Gorgeous – turning a simple classic into simply chic! Beautiful image.
La manière dont il est mis est superbe, surtout sur cette veste blanche, il ressort tellement!! :)

lovely photo Garance. I never really thought of a pocket square as a women’s accessory but it looks so chic

That’s a really nice story! And pocket squares are very chic actually! :)
She totally looks like Alexa!

RAVISSANT, tout simplement. Le foulard dans ses cheveux casse merveilleusement bien le côté chic classique de la pochette !
Wish I could pull off a pocket square! Love those sunglasses :)

C’est très joli en effet et sa coiffure est vraiment très bien aussi dans le genre.
Encore une belle lumière dans cette photo, j’adore!
C’est vrai que c’est chic, distingué et délicieusement rétro.

She TOTALLY looks like Alexa Chung (or vice versa). I’ve been telling this to her for years….
Looks like a flower.
Non seulement j’adore sa pochette mais aussi son carré Hermès plissé noué sur la tête !!
superbe !
Merci

Wonderful shot! She looks fabulous, and although the pocket square is a nice touch, I think it’s the head scarf and aviators that make the look. Love it.

Les lunettes, le turban, la pochette : SUPERBE !
http://percymode.wordpress.com/
C’est vrai que c’est joli! On n’y pense pas, mais ça donne tout de suite du style à une tenue..
Je suis POUR la petite “Touch” qui fait la différence!!!!
et puis juste l’idée de Lauren Hutton, Bianca Jagger… quelles ambassadrices!
30 ans aprés elles restent des icônes de la mode…
Ont-elles piqué l’idée à Lauren Bacal????
La mode où l’éternel recommencement.
Je trouve ça trop chic depuis que j’ai été à une conference donné par un homme absolument waw (tant sur point intelectuel que physique) qui portait un carré de soie dans la poche de sa veste. A part le fait qu’il ait fait libérer des otages dans les balkans, c’est le truc (le foulard roulé-boulé bienfait) qui m’a le plus impressionné.
lol, justement j’ai une tonne de carrés et je ne sais pas toujours comment les porter, je vais essayer, sait on jamais…

I love how her scarf is tied, interlocking at the front. I wonder if it is two scarves looped/linked together and tied at the back?
Love love love this pocket square idea! I definitely need to find myself some. Also dig the headscarf.
A PERFECT look–but now we are all left wondering how to make a feminine pocketsquare and how to use scarves as head-wear! My hair is really slippery, and scarves just fall out, no matter how tightly I tie them….
You should do a post on creative ways to use scarves, with directions on how to tie them :-)
The expression on her face is wonderful.
Oh, these little details make all the difference. That’s a great look! Love the idea of a pocket square.
elle est trop belle !!! mais quelle est donc la marque de ces lunettes ????? pleeeeeeeeeeease ;)
she reminds me of alexa chung! im sure shes heard that before

so perfect, so chic! and how did she fold that pocket square so marvelously? it looks a bit more feminine, like a flower blooming out of her pocket!
We featured vintage head scarfs in one of our outfits recently – they’re perfect for an unexpected rain cloud!

love your outfit!!!

Ooo I’d love to try this look out! Again, so effortlessly chic.

your loved ones are usually right! it is a beautiful touch.
Ooh, I just adore this picture (and entire post) Garance! I love the little tale of them coming over and ‘finishing you off’ with a silk pocket square. And this girl looks so chic in the way she wears it herself.
Thanks for sharing!
