If you are someone who enjoying tying different tie knots, then you probably are going to appreciate this unique way to fold a pocket square. The so-called “Croissant” is a bold fold that looks absolutely fantastic with solid colored pocket squares. If you really want to make a statement, then wear this fold with a colored bordered pocket square like shown above.

Croissant Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square down flat.

Fold in half to create a rectangle.

Fold in half again to create a smaller square.

Now fold up the 4 tips. Start with the top and fold up all 4 tips so that each tip ends slightly below the previous one.

Turn the pocket square over. Next fold the pocket square once again.

Fold the left side under.

Now fold the right side under.

Fold up the loose triangle up and tug under the other folds of the Croissant.

At last place the pocket square into your breast pocket and proudly display all those fun pleats.

If the “4-Point Crown” is a bit too flashy for your taste, then the “3-Point Crown” fold shown here may be perfect. It is classic, timeless, and understated. It suits all solid colored pocket squares. I like this fold for a solid white pocket square when I am wearing my formal double breasted tuxedo. Here is how to create this fold:

3-Point Crown Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the hanky down flat.

Fold one corner up so that two tips are showing at the top.

Now fold the left side over to the right to create the tip, completing the crown.

Fold in the left side to create the base that will be sitting inside your breast pocket.

Last, place the pocket square into your breast pocket.

The “Monarch Fold” is a more elaborate version of the clean and elegant looking “3-Stairs Fold“. It is great for any pocket square color and pattern, but better suited for pocket squares made from silk rather than cotton or linen. Here is how to create this fun fold:

Monarch Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

First, lay the pocket square on a flat surface. Make sure it is clean and wrinkle free.

Next, just below the half way line fold the pocket square. Fold up and then back down to create a pleat.

Create a second pleat by folding up, and then back down again. Continue this accordion-like fold all the way until you reach the bottom corner of the pocket square.

Next, turn the pocket square over. The tip should now be facing towards you.

Now fold the pocket square in half to create a smaller triangle.

Next fold down one side at a 45 degree angle.

As a final step, place the pocket square into your breast pocket.
