The first way to fold your pocket square is the presidential fold. This method is very suitable for somewhat more formal occasions, for example if you are expected at a chic gala soon. It is best to use a classic white pocket square for this. It is best to lay it on a clean surface and then fold it in half. Next, fold one side inwards, so that you can still see a small piece of the pocket square when it sits in your breast pocket. Then place the pocket square in your breast pocket.
Do you want to do something special, but at the same time keep it simple and elegant? Then wear the One Corner Up Fold. A plain solid pocket square lends itself well to this, but a pocket square with a print also comes into its own with this. In the example, a piece from Profuomo with a trendy Paisley print. How do you fold this? Lay your pocket square down on a flat surface, for example on your desk. Then make a triangle by folding the pocket square in half. Next, fold the two points inwards, so that your pocket square looks like a little envelope. Then carefully place it in your breast pocket; adjusting it a little is allowed.
Not thrown off yet? Then challenge yourself once more with the Three Corner Up fold, also known as the crown fold. This is a special folding technique that asks a little more of you, but also makes you look particularly stylish and elegant. For this pocket square too, a flat clean surface is desirable, so wiping a cloth over your desk is advisable if you have not already done so. Fold your pocket square in half, so that two overlapping triangles are created. Then fold one point between the two other points, to make the third corner. After that it is just a matter of folding the right corner inwards and carefully placing the pocket square in your breast pocket.
