Handkerchiefs are a common accessory that can be used as pocket squares with multiple variations, or they can be used as a stylish headband. For formal occasions, a pocket square in a flat fold or one-point fold is considered the best choice. For more casual occasions, you can sport a puff fold pocket square. A handkerchief tucked under your hair and knotted in the front is a classic style that still looks good.
