How to Fold a Pocket Square 5 Quick & Easy Ways to Fold Handkerchiefs

About this video

Sven Raphael Schneider teaches five pocket square folding techniques suitable for different occasions and fabric types. The Gazette team demonstrates the TV fold, crown fold, puff fold, reverse puff fold, and shelf fold, along with practical tips on selecting pocket squares and wearing them properly.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends matching fold types to pocket square sizes and fabrics—linen and cotton work best for structured folds, while silk suits the puff and shelf folds
• The Gazette team argues that pocket squares should display only about a quarter inch above the pocket and serve as a decorative element, never for practical use like wiping one’s nose
• The Gazette team advises selecting pocket squares with hand-rolled edges and natural materials like silk, linen, or wool, avoiding synthetic fabrics like nylon or polyester for better appearance and longevity
