I use a number of different folds for linen (suits) and puff with silk (almost always with tweeds or a blazer). The big question to me is not whether to wear them (Coco Chanel once said "never a button without a buttonhole" and I feel the same about pockets and pocket squares) but to make sure-- whether linen or silk--that they have rolled, hand-sewn edges. A small detail, but very telling, in my opinion. Cotton, which I rarely use, is harder to find with rolled edges and is more often machine stitched.
