I know who wears handkerchiefs? But they look lovely, machine wash really well, and if you need to wipe your brow for a haircut or wipe your nose during the pollen season, you know how badly you need it. . They have a small very slim design that gives them a more sophisticated look and they fold very well into your pocket or bag. I carry one with me every day and the set makes it easy to wash them at the end of the day. They're well made, not too flimsy (I had this issue with my old set) and they haven't worn down after months of daily use. I am very happy with my purchase.
