Fashion tip for men
If you want to look like me - and you know you do - don't forget the pocket square (H/T, once again, to that indefatigable internet explorer, Captain Heinrichs).
And here I've been calling it a handkerchief..."hankie" for short. Guess it's just an estrogen thing. Whatever one wishes to refer to it as, I think it's the thing that really sets the wearer apart.
Deborah: I always refer to it as a handkerchief, too. I've never really liked the expression "pocket square". I only used it in the post because that's what they called it in the article.
B on a B: You know, you can undo the thread that closes the jacket pocket.
But first I'll have to get a pocket!
ReplyDeleteM'yes...you'll definitely need one of those.
ReplyDeleteHeck, first, I'd have to get a suit!

Bought a cheap suit once - the pocket was sewn up. I'll never make that mistake again.

The alternate name used by some is "pocket puff".
