If you think that a handkerchief is an accessory that would only be useful to, say, your 85-year-old grandfather, you can think again. We love toting this handy squares of soft, gauzy 100% cotton to clean glasses or sunglasses, dab at a sweaty brow (hey, no one said traveling was easy), or to protect jewelry while on the move. Bonus: These smart squares only get softer with multiple washes.
