5 Ways to Fold a Pocket Square - Simple & Stylish

[@waynejohn8]

Thankss, John. Good one. Yes, I'd love to see more wine and accessory videos. Go for it! Looking forward.

[@40OverFashion]

Deal!

[@KRW628]

I've got some four color pocket squares, and I had no idea how to display all four. Son of a gun, you DID IT!! (I'll also use the fold-over to display the center and the edges)

[@jeffwible8883]

Another great video. I have my dad's collection after he passed. Probably from the 60s or 70s. I guess these would be semi vintage. Mostly silk. Lots of paisley patterns, very colorful. Lots with multi quadrants. Now I know why and how to use them. Thank you!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Jeff!

[@MrFredstt]

The puff is definitely my favorite

[@patrickcpuc5]

Great video and simple methods to use for folding. Will try it out this evening.

Another informative on point video!!! Keep them coming as a generation of men lost this men’s polishing, grooming and education that was not passed down from father to his son.

[@leebog1914]

Sweet! Got a meeting Tuesday and will be using one of these. Thanks John.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks!

I like the modified puff and tissue trick. I also fold my pocketing a slight triangle inside the pocket to help it follow the slant of the pocket. otherwise it seems to popup during the day (or evening) and look uneven.

Great video John...as always. I've always rocked the "Presidential"....I just never knew there was a name to it. Now I know...so that makes me even more cool.LOL....thanks for the education.

[@ivorybailey5289]

I just got a feed on my Facebook account for a men's monthly sock subscription service from the company Southern Scholars. I went onto KZbin to see if there were any reviews and yes by you!! I just joined. I can't wait for my 1st box, you should link your review video over to your page here. I know alot of guys will find it to be very interesting.

I'm somewhat new on how to use Pocket Squares so I appreciate your tips.

[@40OverFashion]

You're welcome Art! Thanks for watching!

[@ttop64]

If you want a variety of colors, patterns and fabrics for pocket squares you can go to a fabric store and check out their remnants that they sometimes package up.

[@40OverFashion]

Nice tip!

[@Everydaygentleman]

The puff is typically my go to. I'm in a jacket usually for a night out so it works great for that environment. 👍🏼

[@40OverFashion]

Yes! It’s perfect for a nice evening out.

[@jcj68]

Nice tutorial! Look at you showing off your Seiko Pepsi watch, looks awesome!

[@40OverFashion]

Ha! You noticed! :)

[@jcj68]

40 Over Fashion love the watch! You should make a review about it, where you bought it, etc.

[@40OverFashion]

You’re welcome Ricardo!

[@jeffdallen6445]

Well done, John. One thing though... The lapel width is a factor. For instance, the "volcano" style (I've seen it called "exploding" as well) works best with a wider lapel - the proportions are better. Also best with a patterned jacket. You did neglect the simple fold over, same as the "presidential", but instead of the wings exposed you reverse it (upside down) for the simple, clean folded edge following the slit of the pocket. Pattern and texture of your shirt, jacket and tie play a roll in the selection too.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Jeff!

[@menslifestyleimprovement9882]

Great content... I didn’t even know about the multi design pocket squares....

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks! They're cool to play around with!

[@waynejohn8]

How interesting, John. Thanks.

[@namejeff2045]

Dude, this is next level!!

[@40beyondfashion]

Great video as always 👌

[@kurjan1]

Great video 🙏 Will try the tissue idea. I love pocket squares... I just picked up a few from Stefano Ricci. You should check them out, I think you'll enjoy them. They are not cheap but the silk history of the company is extrodinary. I love owning something which has a fabulous story behind it.

[@40OverFashion]

That’s awesome! Thank you for the recommendation!

Great video! ❤️ the Paisley design. Could you tell me where it can be purchased.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment! I wish I could remember. It's been a while, but I believe I got it at Nordstrom.

[@PaulEllisBIGDATA]

Right on time for me!!! Just wondering how to wear a pocket squared. Does the pocket square match shirt, shoes? Love the muti colored pocket square.. Thanks man!

[@40OverFashion]

Hey Paul, the pocket square can match your socks, but when you boil it down, it should match ‘something’ you’re wearing or at least compliment something on the color wheel of what you’re wearing and be a deliberate thought.

[@BhupendraKumar-kb6vh]

Hello, I think using a pocket squire holder helps a lot, which always help to maintain shape and doesn't let it slip in side the pocket. Just my 2 cents. like always great video.

[@donschmidt2537]

John, thank you! I am going to a university alumni event next week and wanted two use two pocket squares, representing both school colors. Would please recommend which fold I should use? Thanks in advance.

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Don! My initial thought would be two 'puff' styles separated enough to see both.

[@donschmidt2537]

You forgot to mention your preferred store or online shopping vendor. Thanks for all of your content

[@jeffwible8883]

Is it ok to use a silk pocket square in a cotton or linen jacket?

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Jeff! My first reaction would be to go with cotton, but I’m not such a fashion stickler that I wouldn’t give silk a shot.

[@CC2755]

Helpful video. I'm still learning how to wear a suit correctly!

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Don! Glad you liked it!

[@snakemonkey555]

Had no idea there were so many ways to style a pocket square, thanks a million! BTW, does your necktie and the pocket square have to match in color or at bare minimum be in the same color family? Thank you.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment! Do not match the tie and the pocket square exactly. They can however remain in the same color family.

[@snakemonkey555]

40 Over Fashion Thanks!

[@francoismiville-deschenes9524]

The short answer is yes. Both have to match in some way, especially the colour, but as you said, a bare minimum unless you want to make some kind of fashion statement the meaning of which you can explain

[@vincentmoohanbuddie5392]

Remember pocket square for shows handkerchief for nose. Also there's an excellent book 22 ways to fold a pocket square check it out.

What is the watch you are wearing in this video?

To hold your pocket squares in place you should invest in the Best Pocket Square Holder.

Great informative and detailed video. I'm a fan of what some call the Steve Harvey fold. It looks good on pocket squares that have borders.

[@hammerghostdog5375]

I love the puff but all I ever see around here is the presidential fold. I’m just gonna have to be a bit non-conformist and try it! My dad knew how to dress & behave like a gentleman. In a short time it seems we have forgotten much of that, so I respect the army of men who are now trying to learn or re-learn these things.

Making me care about pocket squares. Wish I knew the tissue trick at my Wedding.
