To fold a pocket square, here are several popular and easy methods you can try:

1. The Classic Flat Fold (Presidential Fold)

  • Lay the pocket square flat.
  • Fold it in half horizontally, then fold in half vertically to create a smaller square.
  • Fold the square again if needed to fit your pocket size.
  • Place it in your pocket with the straight edge showing for a clean, minimal look

2. The One-Point Fold

  • Lay the pocket square flat in a diamond shape.
  • Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner forming a triangle.
  • Fold the left and right corners inward to create a smaller triangle.
  • Tuck it into your pocket with the single point facing up

3. The Puff Fold

  • Lay the pocket square flat.
  • Pinch the center of the fabric and lift it up.
  • Let the edges drape down loosely around your fingers.
  • Gather the fabric gently and tuck the bottom into your pocket, letting the puffed top show

4. Two-Point or Three-Point Fold

  • Similar to the one-point fold but when folding the bottom corner up, offset it slightly to create two or three visible peaks.
  • Fold the sides inward and tuck into your pocket with the points visible

General Tips

  • Avoid matching your pocket square exactly to your tie; instead, choose complementary colors or patterns for better style
  • Use a tie clip to help hold the pocket square folds in place if needed
  • Materials like cotton and linen hold folds well for classic looks, while silk is great for puff folds

These methods cover a range from formal to casual styles and are simple enough to master quickly

. Choose the fold that best suits your outfit and occasion.
