How to Fold a Pocket Square

Often woefully neglected, the pocket square (aka ‘handkerchief’) is a small yet powerful element of fashion; its pop of color and versatile folds can complete your look and elevate your style in seconds. That is, if you know how to choose - and fold - your pocket square.

There is no definitive rule on whether you should wear this accessory or not, but since your jacket has a breast pocket, why not make the most of it and truly stand out? We believe that the pocket square is the little detail that distinguishes the suited man from the suited gentleman.

In this article, we’ll dig deep into the nitty-gritty of pocket square info; we’ll look at how to fold a pocket square, how to choose among different pocket square designs, how to know when to wear a pocket square, and more. But if you’d like to pick out some key points at a glance, please take a look at this table of contents for easy navigation:

6 Ways to Fold a Pocket Square

The Square Fold

The square fold, also known as the presidential fold or TV fold pocket square, is the ultimate classic fold and should be your choice for a black tie event. It works best with a white linen pocket square or a cotton pocket square, as silk fabric will slip easily and end up looking untidy. To ensure it stays put, you can iron the folds.

Modest in size and flare, this simple pocket square fold is a wonderful option with a formal suit (see image below). It’s a failsafe option; just consider its other nickname, “the presidential pocket square.” With the clean, simple line of pocket square’s linen or cotton edge, you may not actually be able to command a country, but you will certainly look the part. Incidentally, the square fold is almost identical to a straight fold.
