“Pocket squares should never match your tie, only complement it”
I get “matching” means same or similar color and style, but what does “complementing” means? How do socks complement your pants?

It means they work well together or enhance one another.
In colour theory in particular, complementary colours are pairs of colours with directly opposing hues. Blue and yellow for instance. These colour combinations tend to work well.
In the sense you’ve encountered though its broader and means any colours that go together even if not directly opposite.
