Style Lesson : Different ways to fold a Pocket Square.

1/Flat Fold:

Fold the pocket square in half across 
 Fold almost in half up
Fold into thirds
Iron it if it's needed then insert into your breast pocket! 
2/One Point Fold:

Start with the square in a Diamond
Fold in half 
Fold one corner across the center
 Then fold the other corner 
Iron it if it's needed then insert into your breast pocket! 
 3/Flower Fold:

For this one , I apologize but I don't have all the steps in pictures because you have to use both hands and I have to take the pictures but I'll explain you exactly how to do it!


 Gasp the center of the square with your thumbs and forefinger of your right hand
 Lift the square off of the surface, to make it drap 
 Wrap your hand around the fabric then move your other hand down while squeezing it until you reach the bottom
 Fold the top over your thumb , grap the folded part remove your hand, rotate, adjust then insert into your breast pocket! 

 4/Staircase Fold:
 Start with the square in a Diamond shape
Fold it in half
 Fold down the top layer , leaving about 2,50 cm strip at the bottom
 Fold the layer up one more time , making it half the thickness of the strip below
 Fold the layer down again and leave about 2,50 cm strip again 
 Fold the layer up one more time , it's basically like making a fan . I suggest you to iron your fabric if it's needed mine is thick so I had to , to keep the stair shape. 
 It suppose to look like this after being ironed 
 Now fold it in half on the inside 
 Rotate
 Fold the left corner over the right , until the new edge lines up nicely with the folds
 Fold the right corner over the left , adjust it to the size of your breast pocket
VoilĂ  , your done , adjust then insert it into your breast pocket !
