A playful fold that is most fun when created with two bright and contrasting colored pocket squares. I usually wear this fold with red and white pocket squares during a 4th of July party along with my American Flag striped bow tie, blue blazer, and light blue shorts. Here is how you create this fun fold:

Ice Cream Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay both pocket squraes flat.

Fold both pocket squares in half to create two triangles.

Now place one triangle over the other so that the corner of the top triangle ends near the center of the beneath triangle. The bottom pocket square should also be visible along the long side.

Wrap the top pocket square by folding the other pocket square in half. Fold so that the top of each square is showing.

Now fold over the other pocket square. Again, the top of the pocket square should be visible.

And one more time: Fold in the bottom pocket square.

Again, fold in the other pocket square.

Now fold the entire fold in half along the center.

Fold back the left corner to give it a shape of a soft serve ice cream cone.

At last, place the fold into your breast pocket. Give it some final styling to your liking.

Similar to the Scallop Fold is the so-called “American Beauty” fold. While it may look somewhat similar to the Scallop fold, it is more rounded and resembles the look of a red rose. It is a fantastic formal fold for all solid pocket squares. I prefer this fold when wearing my dark suits in navy, charcoal, or black to a black-tie optional function. Because it requires multiple folds, it is best suited for larger pocket squares that are at least 13 inches squared in size. Here is how you create this fold:

American Beauty Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square down flat.

Fold in half to create a triangle.

Fold in half again to create a smaller triangle.

And fold in half for a third time to make the triangle even smaller.

Now fold down one of the wings.

Fold down the opposite wing. The pocket square has a rectangular shape again.

At last, place the pocket square into your breast pocket.

Another eccentric pocket square fold that requires the use of two hankies, is the so-called “Rooster”. Because there is already much going on here, I suggest you work with either two solid colored pocket squares, or just one that has a pattern while the other is a solid plain one. In the fold above I am using a white linen square with red bordering, as well as a solid red one. Here is how you create the fold:

The Rooster Pocket Square Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay both pocket squares down flat.

Place the pocket square you want on the inner part on top of the other pocket square. Make sure that the lower pocket squares shows about 1/2 inch on two sides.

Now start rolling both pocket squares from one corner until you reach the center line.

Now turn the pocket square over.

Next, roll the loose end in the opposite direction as the other roll.

At last place the pocket square into your breast pocket and give it some final styling to your liking.
