How To Fold a Pocket Square - 3 Best Ways - straight, point & puff - cotton, silk, wool, linen

About this video

Weston teaches three methods for folding and placing pocket squares in a breast pocket: the square fold, two point fold, and puff fold. She demonstrates the proper execution of each technique, explains which fabric types work best for each fold, and emphasizes the importance of careful placement and adjustment to achieve a polished, well-dressed appearance.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues the square fold works in virtually all situations and is best for cotton, linen, or wool pocket squares, while the puff fold is ideal for silk pocket squares
• Weston recommends exposing only about a quarter inch to one inch of the pocket square from the breast pocket, and cautions against excessive exposure which she argues looks tacky and unprofessional
• Weston emphasizes that proper pocket square placement requires careful adjustment and fine-tuning after insertion, and suggests using a pen or pencil to help push the fabric down into the pocket when hands are too large
