What is the point of a handkerchief?
A handkerchief (/ˈhæŋkərtʃɪf/; also called a hankie or, historically, a handkercher) is a form of a kerchief or bandanna, typically a hemmed square of thin fabric which can be carried in the pocket or handbag, and which is intended for personal hygiene purposes such as wiping one’s hands or face, or blowing one’s nose.
Why should men carry a handkerchief?
Why Carry a Handkerchief? Handkerchiefs are, well, pretty handy. When you carry a hankie, you don’t have to go scrounging around for a tissue to deal with your dripping shnoz or wipe your nose on your sleeve. And you can mop your brow with it when you’re sitting on the front porch drinking mint juleps.
Is using a handkerchief classy?
If you use tissues or a hanky properly, you’re going to be fine. Use them incorrectly, and it’s going to get a bit gross and potentially unhygienic. The question is not “which product is more hygienic?” it is more like, “what habits are more hygienic?” So the hanky’s unhygienic reputation is definitely overstated.
