About the Fold:
The simplicity of this fold is apparent. If you enjoy The Puff Fold, just do it twice. This fold is a great casual fold ideal for showing off two complimentary fabrics. It is also inherently as simple as the puff fold, and yet somehow louder and prouder. Some would say that it is twice as good.
Executing the fold is simple enough and easy to learn. Learn how to do The Puff Fold, and then do it a second time for the same jacket. The end result will leave you with a pocket square fold that brings the qualities of being a thinking gentleman on the move, but the two puffs combined with the right fabrics speak to coordination and grace.
A possibility is to use contrasting yet complimentary single colour pocket squares. You could also have a pocket square with a bold pattern on it, with a second square made from a single colour that is complementary to the design, perhaps a minor secondary colour. The options are endless with this daring fold.
As simple as the fold may be, the wearer must be sure to use the right squares. This fold is less about showing off the skill of folding and primarily about showing off coordination. Choosing the right squares will show a gentleman who is an outlier among men as far as colour coordination and design are concerned.
