About the Fold:
Sometimes, just sometimes, a pocket square fold should be reserved for intimidation. Nothing says power and prestige like The Three-Point Fold. This fold is ideal for the boss at the office, or to tell your boss that you mean business. While The One Point Fold speaks sharp intellect, and The Two-Point Fold speaks strict professionalism, The Three-Point Fold is mastery and leadership inherent.
This fold is well suited to nearly any fabric just like its pointed siblings. It looks especially strong if executed using a plain white square. The fold can also lend itself well to squares with edge designs.
This fold can look very interesting since the triangle in the middle of the three sits in front. This gives those observing the pocket square the intrigue of wondering how that is done. You’re not going to tell though and they’re not going to ask, since this fold advertises the fact you mean business.
When using this fold, ensure that you get the detail and symmetry correct. This fold can appear deceptively easy to do, but folding incorrectly will make it look like an uneven pointy mess. This fold shows off that the wearer holds attention to detail as a priority, and that sub-par performance should not simply be accepted.
