The Classic Pocket Square - How to Fold

This fold is as straightforward and simple as it gets when it comes to folding a pocket square. It's the perfect fold to start with when first learning how to fold. If you haven’t had much experience folding pocket squares, this is a great fold to practice and build your manual dexterity and finesse.

The edges on this fold are layered and rectangular, and they don’t have to remain perfectly symmetrical. The fabric should fall and layer naturally so that the fold doesn’t appear stiff. A more striking fold can be achieved by using contrasting colors for the edges.

Follow These Steps:

1. Place the pocket square fabric face down on a flat surface.
   
   
2. Fold the fabric in half, starting from right to left.
   
   
3. Next, fold the fabric in half again, starting from bottom to top.
   
   
4. Create another fold in half, starting from left to right.
   
   
5. For the final fold, start from the bottom and fold just behind the front layer.
   
   
6. Adjust the fold to ensure your classic pocket square looks stunning inside your jacket pocket.
