"Fashions fade - Style is forever"
There are almost as many different ways of folding a pocket square as there are colours. From the basic puff, where you simply fold the square and place it in the pocket, to the Dunaway fold, which is a combination of rolls and points, the choice is yours. And even the simple puff has a variation, known as the Guido puff, allegedly discovered by a dapper Italian gent while shopping in Hermès.
Like a signature scent, rather than always changing, you should choose the one that pleases you best and make it your mark.
The one rule we would advise is to stick to the very simplest folds when working with linen or cotton, while with silk you can really push the boat out. Overleaf we show you the three hippest ways to be square, plus our pick of the pockets. - GQ
*the video below is kinda wack but it'll do for now til I post one of my own, however you get the idea.
The 2-Point Square
Step One: (above pic)
Lay the pocket square flat in a diamond. Fold the bottom corner up, to the left of the top point.
Step Two:
Fold the left side across to the right. (above pic)
Step three:
Fold the right across to the left. Now you're ready to tuck in. (above pic)
