Here are some popular and easy ways to fold a pocket square:

1. The Classic Square Fold (Presidential Fold)

  • Fold your pocket square in half twice to form a smaller square.
  • Fold it in half again, point to point, making a neat triangle.
  • Fold in the two long opposite points on the triangle.
  • Tuck the pointed end into your pocket with folds to the back, so only the straight edge shows. This creates a clean, flat look

2. The One-Point Fold (Single Peak)

  • Lay the pocket square flat.
  • Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner to form a triangle.
  • Fold the left and right corners in towards the middle.
  • Tuck the flat end into your pocket with the pointed tip showing at the top

3. The Two-Point Fold (Twin Peak)

  • Fold the pocket square in half twice to form a smaller square.
  • Lay it flat in a diamond shape.
  • Fold the bottom corner up so it sits slightly to the left of the top corner, forming two peaks.
  • Fold the left and right sides in towards the middle.
  • Tuck into your pocket so the two peaks are visible

4. The Puff Fold

  • Lay the pocket square flat.
  • Pinch the center and lift it up, letting the fabric drape.
  • Wrap your other hand gently around the draping fabric.
  • Fold the top part over your thumb and tuck the bottom folded edge into your pocket.
  • Adjust so the tips puff out of your pocket

These folds range from formal and structured (square, one-point, two-point) to more casual and expressive (puff). Choose based on your outfit and occasion
