How To Fold A Pocket Square

This simplest, most classic fold is the straight fold, but if you’re not sure how to go about it, here’s how to fold a pocket square into a classic straight fold.

Pocket squares are great because they add a little bit of extra flair to your suit or tuxedo without being over the top or too distracting. They take your normal tux look from classic to ultra-snappy and a traditional suit from plain to sophisticated. If you’re looking for a way to class up your wedding day look, we highly recommend going with a pocket square.

Often with a tuxedo, you’ll stick with a simple, white pocket square, but with a suit especially, the world is your oyster. Traditionally, you won’t match your pocket square to your tie, so any other color (or pattern) in your wedding palette is fair game. Try matching to something in your bride’s ensemble, if your tie is matching the bridesmaid’s dresses. Or vice versa.
