Looking for a simple and casual way to wear your pocket squares? Then the rolled puff is perfect. It is similar to the regular puff fold, but it is usually a bit wider and doesn’t reach out of the breast pocket as much. It is perfect for any type of pocket square although finer and thinner fabrics such as silk are best suited. Here is how you create this fold:

Rolled Puff Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square flat.

Pick up the pocket square by pinching the center.

Slide the pocket square through the palm of your other hand.

Roll down the top (the “puff”) once or twice.

Depending on the size of your pocket square, you may need to fold up the corners from the bottom

As a final step tug the pocket square into your breast pocket.

The “Shell Fold” is a neat and unique way to style your pocket squares. It looks fantastic with wild patterned, and brightly colored pocket squares, and it also is best suited for oversized pocket squares (larger than 13″ x 13″) that are made from fine silk. It is actually similar in look, yet quite a bit more elaborate, to the Puff Fold. Here is how you create the shell pocket square fold:

The Shell Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square down flat.

Fold in half to create a triangle.

Fold one corner up so that it sits next to the other corner.

Fold the bottom corner up again to create a 3rd tip.

Fold for a fourth time to create a 4th tip.

Now bend the pocket square from the four tips.

Bend all the way to create a half circle.

As a final step, tug the pocket square into your breast pocket and give it some final styling to your liking.

The diamond fold is a more elaborate version of the One Tip Up fold – one of the most popular ways to wear a pocket square. The diamond fold is an excellent choice for all solid colored pocket squares added to formal dark colored suit or black tie tuxedo. Here is how to create this fold:

Diamond Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square down flat.

Fold in half at the center.

Fold in half again to create a smaller square.

Now fold in one leaf of the open ended corner. Fold just below the other tip at the top.

Now fold up the 2nd leaf. Again, fold so that the tip ends below the tip from the last fold.

Now fold for a 3rd time.

And finally fold up the last leaf to create the 4th corner of the diamond.

As a final step, tug the pocket square into your breast pocket. If the pocket square is too wide, then fold back each of the sides.
