Day 33: The Fleur De Lis Fold

Pocket Square Fleur De Lis
The so-called Fleur de Lis fold is one of the latest folds I discovered. I enjoy wearing it the most with thin silk pockets squares in bright colors and bold patterns. I tend to wear this fold less often with a suit, and more often with casual sports coats. Here is how you create this fun fold:

Day 32: The Mount Fuji Fold

MT Fuji Pocket Square Fold
Since we featured the “3-Peaks Fold” yesterday, I thought I stick to the Mountain theme by featuring the Mt. Fuji fold today. It looks similar to the One Tip Up Fold with the main difference of having a differently colored base at the bottom. It is another one of those folds that requires the use of two pocket squares. To get the most of this fold, I suggest two differently colored pocket squares. Usually I use a patterned pocket square for the tip, while I like to use a solid colored pocket square for the base. Here are the detailed instructions:

Day 31: The 3 Peaks Fold

3 Peaks Fold
The three peaks fold is another one of those unique folds that requires the use of 2 pocket squares. To get the most out of this fold, I suggest using 2 differently colored pocket squares. I prefer either two solid colors, or one patterned pocket square paired with a solid colored pocket square in complementing hues. Here is how you create this fold.
