What does "punch up" mean ?!

Hi everybody,

I got this piece of advertisement on Men.Style.com

Pocket Squares: A smart, easy way to punch up your outfit—as long as you keep the pocket square and not flowering out of your breast pocket.

Could you tell me what "punch up" means in this situation ?
Thank you in advance. Great day !!! Emotion: paradise

Well Thao, I think its some new English slang. It appears to be something like puff up, increase, make into higher quality, ramp up, make more interesting. So you could say, a smart, easy way to make your outfit stand out -.
