Pocket squares have been around for ages in one form or another. The modern version we know today was predated by the handkerchief, which dates all the way back to ancient Egyptians, who used hankies for hygienic purposes like wiping off dirt or sweat from the face. The pocket square’s popularity can be credited to King Richard II of England, who popularized handkerchiefs in 1390 because of a personal preference for carrying one with him wherever he went. Fast-forward to the 1900s, and everyone who was anyone was toting one. By WWII, however, the idea of a handkerchief fell out of style for sanitary reasons, and pocket squares were known from then on as the fashion accessory we know today.

In the past century, dozens of different ways to fold the square were born. From the ornate four peak to the crisp presidential, there’s a fold suitable for any occasion, be it casual, formal, or somewhere in between. Here’s twelve ways to fold your pocket square. Your style will thank you.

  1. Great tutorial but … I feel it would’ve been better to use the same square for each demonstration. Having different colors and patterns changes the overall effect of each fold making it difficult to truly compare each and not end up dismissing a particular fold because, subconsciously, one doesn’t like a particular color.

  2. Stair fold and presedential are my go to folds usually, going to try the three peaks and four peaks for something a little more extravagant! Much appreciated.

  3. Thank you so much. Dad wasn’t in the picture after a certain point so i had to learn most things either the hard way by failing at something or looking up things online 😐

  4. Just sent my 17 yr old son off to his yr 12 high school ball with the winged peak reversed pocket square fold. He scrubbed up well and is looking very sharp. Thanks for this tutorial.

  5. Anyone humming along to the soundtrack in the same spot as you rewind the fold over and over (and over) again in order to get it just right? 😅😅

  6. How can I make sure it doesn’t fall into my pocket, I’ve been fighting for years?Thank you in advance . Regards from Serbia
