A must have item for the contemporary gentleman

If you want to be truly elegant and trigger a chromatic harmony between jacket, shirt and tie, don't forget to wear a beautiful pocket square. Its origin is quite ancient, the first evidence of not only functional but also ornamental use dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Over the years it has had several evolutions and even in the Naples of the eighteenth century it distinguished the noble and wealthy men who used it to clean their mouth or nose from the plebeians who did not use it and performed the same function with the sleeves of their shirt.

Today the pocket handkerchief has only an ornamental purpose and must be strictly white in cotton or linen for very institutional outfits or bright and colored in silk for more unique and dandy looks.
