The best men’s pocket squares can add a note of sophistication and urbane finish to even the most dress casual event. But gauging the quality and appearance of these and handkerchiefs in the online marketplace can be difficult. The fabric should not have too much shine, but neither should it be dull, since both of these extremes speak loudly of poor quality or manufacture. While many pocket squares are made exclusively for their appearance, there are those that also serve as functional handkerchiefs. However, products don’t always make this distinction clear. In order to save time and provide you with the exact product you want, we’ve collected the best options available online that won’t have a price to match their luxurious appearance.
