About the Fold:
You like triangles, right? However, so does everyone else you know. There is a way though, of bringing a slight bit of class to your pocket square fold without seeming too different. This more conservative style fold allows for the wearer to show off their folding style without drawing too much attention.
It’s a humble style of fold really, showing off a small amount of creativity and extraversion in a world that may be stuck to more conserative folding styles. This fold is also versatile enough to be used with a tuxedo for more formal occasions.
The fold works well with any fabric, including those that have a small pattern in the print or plain colours. It may not be ideal for more flamboyant squares, since this is after all a more conservative style of pocket square fold. The fold gives structural support, so can still be used with silk if need be.
It’s a very subtle style of fold, ideal for venturing into the more complex pocket square folds that are available. This slight bit of interest in your pocket square may be just the thing to give accent to your wardrobe, proving that you are a gentleman of thought and character.
