If you're looking for a way to add a soft touch to your everyday business suits, a linen handkerchief is a great accent piece. For years, men have expressed their style and taste through the handkerchiefs placed in the breast pockets of classic business suits. Working women can add a soft touch to their business suits as well with a fancy linen or lace-trimmed handkerchief.

There are plenty of different ways to fold a handkerchief. To create a three-point fold, take the handkerchief and fold it in half diagonally. Next, fold the left corner over to the right, and then the left corner over the right corner. Finally, fold the bottom half up and under, and tuck it into the breast pocket.

If you want to create a softer look, try folding your handkerchief into a reverse puff. Begin by holding the handkerchief in the center with the points facing down. Then, with your free hand pinch the handkerchief at the midpoint. Now all you have to do is fold the bottom half up and behind, and place the handkerchief in your breast pocket. The resulting fold looks delicate, like a flower.
