Here's how to fold a pocket square using the "Puffed" or "Wrap" fold, creating a soft, rounded look in your jacket pocket:
Steps to Fold a Pocket Square Wrap:
-
Lay the Pocket Square Flat: Begin by laying your pocket square flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape (rotated 45 degrees from a square).
-
Fold Bottom Corner to Top Corner: Fold the bottom corner upwards to meet the top corner, creating a triangle.
-
Fold Left Corner Up: Fold the left corner upwards to the right of the top point. Aim to have the left peak slightly lower than the central peak.
-
Fold Right Corner Up: Fold the right corner upwards to the left of the top point. Aim to have this peak also slightly lower than the central peak, creating a layered, staggered look.
-
Adjust and Tuck: Adjust the folds to your liking, ensuring the peaks are visible and pleasing to the eye. Gently tuck the folded portion into your breast pocket, leaving the folded peaks exposed. Experiment with how much shows for your preferred look.
Summary: The key to the Puffed/Wrap fold is creating a soft, rounded appearance with staggered peaks. Don't aim for perfect symmetry; the slightly uneven peaks contribute to the relaxed elegance of this fold.
