Pocket square folds aren’t just a piece of cloth crumpled into your jacket; they are a fashion statement that brings panache, personality, and attitude to your outfit. The best pocket square style, precisely folded, can redesign your look with its understated yet powerful details.
Customised accessories like pocket square folds are making a strong comeback among younger professionals and wedding-goers. So, if you’re ready to master the art of styling one, let’s dive in.
Choosing the Right Pocket Square
Here are pro tips to guide you:
- Match the Occasion :Go for refined textures and elegant embroidery on pocket squares for weddings. Casual pocket square folds look best with patterns and prints.
- Coordinate, Don’t Copy:Your pocket square should contrast and not match your tie or shirt.
- It’s All About Size:The ideal size of a pocket square is 10–17 inches square. Too big, it will bulge; too little, it will lose its shape.
- Hues:A bold colour can make your personality stand out; don’t be afraid to adopt versatile colours.
