NYCTux Pocket Squares :: Corners Up Style

 

 

As its name implies, the 'corners up' method of folding your pocket square allows the corners to peek out the top!

 

Again, place the pocket square flat on a table and pick it up by the middle. However, this time, insert the 'bunched up material' down into your pocket first.

 

The corners of your pocket square should stick up and out of the top of the pocket.

 

HOW TO

With the one corner fold, you’ll have a small peak of fabric coming out your pocket. This one is probably my favorite of the three. Here’s how to fold it:

 

1. Lay your pocket square on a flat surface, with one corner facing up and one corner facing down so it looks like you have a baseball diamond in front of you.
2. Bring the bottom point to the top point so that you create a triangle.
3. Bring the left corner of the triangle to the right corner, and the right corner to the left corner. You should end up with a long rectangle with a point at the top. It looks sort of like a fence slat.
4. Fold the bottom towards the top, but not all the way.
5. Place it in your suit. Adjust until you get the desired amount of point coming out of the pocket.
