How To Wear A Pocket Square:

The Manto Guide:


The adaptability of pocket squares, as well as how changing colors and textures can completely modify the look of a blazer, and is something we adore.

  1. The Classic
  2. The Puff
  3. Presidential
  4. Reverse Puff
  5. Single Peak
  6. Two Peaks

The Classic Fold:

The classic fold is a versatile and straightforward way to wear your pocket square. It is appropriate for any situation.

  1. Lay your pocket square face-down on a flat surface.
  2. Bring the right side over to the left edge, folding it in half.
  3. Fold the fabric in half again, bringing the bottom edge up to the top.
  4. Fold in half from left to right.
  5. Next, fold the bottom to the top again by bringing the bottom underneath the back to the top edge.
  6. Insert the folded side facing down into your breast pocket. It is traditional to have the four corners pointing toward your left shoulder, but it’s okay to face them inward.
  7. Adjust as needed to fit your jacket pocket.

 

The Puff:
Here is another very easy way to fold your pocket square – the puff fold! It looks more complicated than it is and conveys a simple sophistication.

  1. Lay your pocket square face-down on a flat surface.
  2. Pinch the material at the center and pick it up.
  3. Create a circle with the opposite hand’s thumb and index fingers, and run the pocket square through this circle. Hold the fabric at its mid-point.
  4. Fold up the bottom of the material toward the back.
  5. Adjust as needed to fit your jacket pocket.

 

Presidential Fold:
This style for folding your pocket square is perhaps the most traditional fashion. It’s also one of the most formal ways. 

 

  1. Lay your pocket square face-down on a flat surface.
  2. Bring the right side over to the left edge, folding it in half.
  3. Fold it in half again, from left to right.
  4. Again, fold it in half by bringing the top to the bottom.
  5. Once more, fold it in half by bringing the bottom underneath the back to the top edge.
  6. Insert the open edges facing down into your breast pocket with the folded side pointing up.
  7. Adjust as needed to fit the pocket of your suit jacket. 
Reverse Puff:
The Reverse Puff is a stylish fold that is quite straightforward to master.

 

  1. Start by laying out the pocket square flat in front of you, then pinch the center with your thumb and index figure and lift it up.
  2. Taking your other hand, make a circle with your thumb and forefinger around halfway down the square.
  3. Now twist the pocket square firmly to hold it in place.
  4. Next, turn the pocket square around 180 degrees in your hands.
  5. Now, take the bottom of the square and fold it up towards the peaks.
  6. Finally, place it in your pocket, adjusting the peaks so that they are all visible and approximately the same height 
The One Point Fold:
The one-point pocket squares are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual get together or a corporate event with a client.

 

  1. Lay your pocket square face down on a flat surface at an angle so that one corner is at the top.
  2. Fold your fabric in half, laying the left corner and the bottom corner ofter their opposing corners. This will result in a rectangle shape.
  3. Fold it in half again, bringing the bottom of the rectangle up to the top edge. Now you have a diamond shape.
  4. Now fold the right corner toward the center.
  5. Fold the left corner toward the center.
  6. Finally, fold up the bottom toward the back.
  7. Adjust as needed to fit your jacket pocket.  
The Two Point Fold:
This fold is a variation of the one-point pocket square fold, but it has two peaks instead of just one.

 

  1. Begin with your pocket square face down on a flat surface at an angle so that one corner is at the top.
  2. Bring the bottom point up to the top, but don’t lay it directly on top of the point; instead, lay it next to the top point, creating two peaks.
  3. Fold in the right corner, going past the center point, but not folding the material all the way in half. Your chosen stopping point will affect the width of your finished fold.
  4. Bring the left corner across toward the right side. Again, how far you go determines your finished width.
  5. Tuck in the remaining edge of this left corner behind the folded pocket square.
  6. Fold up the bottom toward the back.
  7. Adjust as needed to fit your jacket pocket.
