What are the handkerchiefs worn by those gentlemen in England?

There are two kinds of handkerchiefs, one is for decoration, which is difficult to use, and the other is the kind of gentleman you mentioned. They always carry a clean white handkerchief with them, and if any lady around them needs it, she can take it out gracefully at any time. Men can also use it to wipe their sweat and hands.

Handkerchiefs are usually made of white cotton cloth, which is easy to clean. English gentlemen have one characteristic. The handkerchief in the pocket of a dark suit is often not a white handkerchief, but a light handkerchief with a checkered pattern. Of course, nowadays people often use paper towels instead of handkerchiefs, which is understandable and completely acceptable.

Small handkerchiefs often bring an elegant casual style, which will add a little elegance when worn informally and without a tie.

Here are some handkerchiefs of different textures.

Silk handkerchiefs should be sewn by hand, which means that the processing technology is a little more complicated, so it is also a sign of high quality. Dress

Handkerchiefs must be of good quality, because you always have to fold them and press them. Inferior silk can't stand constant tossing.

Colored silk or cashmere handkerchiefs are most suitable for casual coats. Many clothing stores have a large selection of handkerchiefs.

White linen handkerchief is suitable for all formal occasions. If you don't feel comfortable, I'll teach you a "rule of thumb": as long as you can wear a white shirt, you can wear it with confidence. Like silk handkerchiefs, the edges of linen handkerchiefs are sewn by hand, and some people embroider their initials on handkerchiefs.
