It also shows off a combination of the centre of the square, as well as the edges. It is a versatile fold suitable for many designs of pocket square.
This isn’t the hardest fold to learn, and yet it looks impressive to see. The fold seems more complex than it actually is, and that’s why you’re the rising star when you use it. It’s ideal for social occasions but can also be used in a more conservative business setting too.
Make sure to use a stiff pocket square fabric, and be selective when it comes to your design. Since this fold shows off so much of the middle section of the square and the edges, it can look even more stunning if a great design is selected.
Used in the right scenario this fold is ideal for drawing positive attention to whomever may wear it. Be the rising star at your next afternoon social event.
