Why silk pocket squares make a good gift

Silk holds a crisp fold or a soft puff, so it works with many styles.
It suits formal events and business wear, so it gets used well beyond the holidays.
It is small and flat, so it is easy to wrap or tuck inside a holiday card.

What to look for

Check the size, since larger squares fold more easily and stay put in deeper jacket pockets.
Make sure the fabric is pure silk rather than a polyester blend if natural fibre matters.
Read the care label, since most silk squares need dry cleaning rather than machine washing.
