Pocket Square Folding Styles

Puff Fold – The puff fold is a go-to for casual occasions, and also the simplest form of fold. Lay the pocket square on your palm or a flat surface, gently pinch it in the center and pick it up bringing the edges together and creating a puff at the center. Then, fold the edges and slide the square into the pocket carefully keeping the puff intact.

One Point Fold – This fold is for the days you want a crisp, sharp point peeking out of breast pocket. For this, place the pocket square on a flat surface and pick a corner and fold it such that you get a triangle. Lay it such that you have the fold horizontal towards you and the point away from you. Then, take one corner at a time along the horizontal fold and bring it on the inside to get a pentagon shape. Pick it up carefully and slide it into the pocket with the point peeking outside the pocket. This fold is perfect for formal occasions.

How Much Pocket Square Should You Display

An ideal way of wearing the pocket square is such that about 1/4th of an inch to 1 inch of the fabric is seen above the pocket line.
