weaving and making linens as early as 5 and a half thousand years ago. The
Egyptians even had the wisdom to starch and color their linens and go for a
flash. The handkerchief was their creation. Since then, the piece of cloth has
moved to different countries, been experimented on, shaped and reshaped into
various notions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that Marie Antoinette, the executed Queen of King Louis XVI, caused the trend
that handkerchiefs should be square-shaped; not towel-shaped. This made
kerchiefs easy to handle and fold into the pockets. In the early 20<sup>th</sup>
century, girls would innovatively create a brassiere out of two handkerchiefs;
and sometimes, whether willingly or unintentionally, gave a peek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

peeping out of the neckline left a stunning impression. A few intelligent minds
translated this observation into a trend. They assumed that it might hit
gold-dust if a bit of folded handkerchiefs would peep out of the shirt pocket.
This was the start of the pocket squares in actual sense of the word. Cut to
the present age, pocket squares do play a significant role in defining the
attire and style of the person beholding it.

to hide things and are a sign that you wish for isolation. In the same vein,
the emerging edges of the pocket squares are a metaphoric symbol for an
invitation. With <a href="http://www.tscustomsuits.com/shop/Suit-Accessories/Mens-Pocket-Squares/Mens-Cotton-Pocket-Squares"><b>pocket squares</b></a>, you give an impression that you wish to reveal
a part of you to the one who approaches you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ideas have been shared all over to formulate how best to fold pocket squares in
a charming way. Single-pointed pocket squares are the general norm, but you may
opt from 2-4 pointed pocket squares or the puffed, teethed and other versions.
Puritans either choose the one-point pocket squares or the flat versions. For
the uninitiated, the points generally convey the layers you have in your life,
while flat pocket squares show out a fairly uncomplicated person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

dressed in a smart shirt, tie and a double-breasted suit over it.
Interestingly, you will somehow find that the iceberg-like pocket square would
often still be the best complement to your outlook. It ought to complement the
theme of your shirt (not the tie or suit, mind you), but not be identical in
color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

somebody in formals, you check out his face and then his suit. While your eyes
move to the inner shirt, you find something similar at the periphery of your
vision. You are automatically attracted to that similar-themed object jutting
out of his pockets, the pocket square. You admire the homogeneity of vision
that pocket square creates and there lies the excellence of this man’s
accessory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
