Classy ways to fold a Pocket Square

July 30,2018

By Ebuka Uzonwanne

THE STRAIGHT FOLD

This fold is best for elegant attire ranging from formal business dress to black tie. Typically a classic white pocket square made from silk or linen is used for this fold.
Lay the pocket square on a flat and clean surface.
Fold the pocket square in half.
Fold one side up. How much of the pocket square you fold in is depending on how deep your jacket’s pocket is.
Tug the folded pocket square into your breast pocket so that about 1/4 of an inch is visible.
ONE POINT FOLD

Another popular way to fold the pocket square is the triangular “one point” fold. It suits any type of pocket square and dress code.
Start out by laying the pocket square on a flat surface.
Fold one corner in so that you get two overlapping triangles.
Fold one side of the triangle in.
Do the same on the opposite side.
Finally place the pocket square in your jacket’s pocket.
TWO POINT FOLD

Looking for a somewhat different pocket square fold? Then this fold, sometimes also called “two point” fold might be perfect. It suits any pocket square color & pattern. Choose this fold for patterned pocket squares accessorizing a casual-sleek outfit that is rather sophisticated than formal
Place your pocket square on a clean & flat surface.
Fold one side over so that you get two triangles that overlap. I prefer the look of having one tip higher than the other (see illustration above).
Now fold one side in.
Do the same on the opposite side.
Place your folded pocket square in your breast pocket and you are already done
THREE POINT FOLD

This type of fold that is sometimes also called “crown fold” is perfect for patterned and colored pocket squares. Although this fold would suit formal attire.
Lay your pocket square on a flat surface.
Fold one side in so that you have the look of two triangles – creating two tips.
To create the third tip, fold in one side as shown in picture #3 above.
This step creates the base which will keep the pocket square in place. Fold in the opposite side and make sure to create a strong fold with the palm of your hand.
Place the folded pocket square into your pocket and you are done.
THE PUFF FOLD

This type of fold, is ideal for a more casual-sleek outfit. It looks best when used for patterned pocket squares. Choose this fold for pocket squares that have unique paisley patterns, tartan checks, and polka dots. This fold is less suited for formal attire.
Place the pocket square down flat.
Now pick up the pocket square by pinching it near the center.
Slide the hanky trough your other hand as shown in picture #3.
Now flip the pocket square upside down.
Finally tug the pocket square in your breast pocket. Don’t over-think this fold, the fold should look casual and a bit uneven.
