Flower Fold:
"A Splash of Color"
For a casual outfit, a silk pocket square is the ideal choice. The patterned silk pocket square should not match the tie but should echo the colors of other details in your outfit. Follow these steps to achieve a puffed flower fold:
- Hold the pocket square by the center.
- Let it fall downward, folding the bottom part upward.
- Insert the pocket square into the pocket with the edges facing up.
The softness of the silk will create a fluffy effect, with the slight imperfection symbolizing effortless elegance.
Two-Layer Fold:
"A Touch of Refinement"
For informal occasions where style is key, the two-layer fold is recommended, suitable for a subtle handkerchief made of cotton batiste with satin trim. Here’s how to create it:
- Iron the handkerchief well and lay it open on a flat surface.
- Fold it in half.
- Fold it again, bringing the bottom part upward while leaving the folded part slightly back to reveal both layers of the handkerchief.
- Place the handkerchief in the jacket pocket, ensuring it is taut.
Three-Point Fold:
For Formal Occasions
For formal occasions, the three-point fold is recommended, suitable for a subtle handkerchief made of white cotton batiste with satin trim. Here’s how to create it:
- Position the handkerchief in front of you.
- Fold the pocket square over itself to form the first point.
- Bring the left flap up and to the right to create the second point.
- Bring the right flap to the left, this time downward, to close the pocket square.
- Place the folded pocket square into the jacket pocket.
Follow these simple steps for each type of fold and elevate your style with the timeless elegance of the pocket square.
