How to Fold a Pocket Square
The pocket square is one of the most posh accessorizes and stylish must-have for anyone dressing for a formal occasion. Not only does it make you look elegant but if you wear a pocket square correctly it can make your image or formal attire look more stylish and sophisticated. It’s the perfect way to finish off your suit with a splash of color to your jacket.

Here are five clever ways to fold a pocket square.
The easy way
1. Fold your handkerchief in half twice so it forms a square, then in half again via the points so it forms a triangle.
2. Next fold in the two long opposite points of the triangle.
3. Tuck the pointed end into your jacket pockets so only the straight edge shows.

How to fold a one-point pocket square
1. Simply fold your handkerchief in half twice to form a square, then half again as above so it forms a triangle.
2. Again, fold in the two long opposite points of the triangle.
3. Instead of leaving the straight edge showing from your jacket pocket, simply turn it around so only the top of the triangle is showing.

How to fold a two-point pocket square
1. Fold your pocket square in half twice so that it forms a four and one-half inch square.
2. Lay it on a flat surface with one corner pointing up and one corner pointing down, like a diamond shape.
3. Fold the bottom corner up so it sits on the left of the top corner, to form what looks like two mountain peaks sitting side by side.
4. To finish, fold the left side and the right side in towards the middle. Tuck this straight end into your pocket.

How to fold the puff pocket square
1. Fold your handkerchief in half twice and lay it on a flat surface.
2. Next, pinch the middle of the square and lift up.
3. Tuck the excess fabric into your jacket pocket and leave the pointed edge showing.
