Putting a "puff" in a suit jacket refers to styling a pocket square so that it protrudes from the pocket with a rounded, puffed appearance. Here's how you do it:
- Lay the pocket square flat.
- Pinch the pocket square in the center and lift it up.
- Smooth out the fabric around the pinched point, letting the fabric fall naturally.
- Fold the bottom corners up and around the back of the pinched section. Adjust the amount you fold based on the depth of your pocket.
- Insert the folded pocket square into your suit jacket's breast pocket, with the puffed part showing.
- Adjust the visible "puff" until you are happy with how it looks. The goal is a rounded, casual appearance.
