silk handkerchief
Smooth fabric kerchief
A silk handkerchief is a small square of silk fabric carried in a pocket or worn as an accessory.
Unlike cotton handkerchiefs meant for practical use, silk versions serve decorative purposes—tucked into a breast pocket as a pocket square or tied around the neck.
The material's sheen and drape make it a marker of elegance or dandyism: He arranged the silk handkerchief in his jacket pocket.
