In today's video, I show you step by step my 8 favorite ways to fold a pocket square so you look effortlessly elegant.
00:00 Introduction
Honestly, pocket squares are one of my favorite accessories and I hardly ever leave the house without one, except maybe if you have a jacket with a big boutonniere and another pocket square will just throw everything off balance visually.
Many pocket squares are just plain or have the same pattern, some other pocket squares can be folded in many different ways, I sometimes call them three-in-one pocket squares because you can wear it this way or that way or just combined the look.
Now, before I show you step-by-step how to fold a pocket square, I want you to keep two things in mind; one is different pocket squares have different sizes and sometimes, they're too big, sometimes they're too small, and they disappear in your pocket but ideally, you want something that works perfectly for your chest pocket.
Now, at Fort Belvedere, we're a firm believer in producing pocket squares that make you look your best and that means every material has a different size because no two textures, stiffnesses, and weights are the same. Likewise, just with a self-tied bow tie, you never want your pocket square to look like it's folded too perfectly, too neatly, or too symmetrically. Why? Because if you want to strive for a nonchalant elegance that just looks like you put it there and it fell into place and not like someone who actually ironed a pocket square because that makes it look like a pre-folded one and that's never stylish.

I love wearing my Ft. Belvedere linen pocket squares. The quality is great and they stay in place all day long. I do cut the green tag off of them, but when people ask where I got my pocket squares, I always point them to your website (I also have your white boutonniere too). Great video!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Yes, cutting of the tags make sense. Glad to hear you like them.

Well done, Sven! When I worked at the Hotel Vierjahreszeiten in Hamburg in the 1980s, all of us who worked at the front desk had to do your "pinch" method and we had to line up to make sure we had did it right. Thanks for taking me down memory lane again....cheers!

Great video!!! Love ❤️ my pocket squares. It makes your outfit super great. A gentleman always wear a pocket square. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️😀

[@zoukatron]

I have to confess that I made frequent use of the stair fold when I first started wearing pocket squares, going so far as to fixing them permanently in shape using safety pins - never again! I usually wear linen pocket squares with a tv or triangle fold, I'm looking forward to trying out the shell fold with silk.

[@machazychaz]

Wow the reverse puff looks really nice. Maybe i'll even find a piece with a yellow center so its like a flower ^^ would really freshen up a Look :)

[@MarcusWarnerMusic]

I don't know why but I find it amusing that you gave yourself a tick every time you showed us a fold. I generally assumed that you'd be showing us the correct method each time you introduce it haha

[@bheinatz1]

You have a different voice when doing the folding instructions than your normal, upbeat, on-screen persona! That was interesting to hear.

Hi, how would you go about washing or removing stains from a white linen pocket square??

[@rsevp179]

The tags drive me a little crazy. I understand that they need to be along the edge. Have you considered having the tag on the edge but not in the corner. That would help me. Thanks

What I would like to know is when do we get the "Advanced folds" video? Or 8 more options!??!!

[@RoopeRontu1999]

I once bought a 1999 Ritzenhoff champagne glass which came with a cotton square with Empire State Buildings in a solar look in it and because traditional looks, such as Scallop and Rose didn't give enough yellow and black (the square is mostly white except for the middle, which is black and yellow), so I invented my own; the Tavastian Parachute. Here's how you do it. 1. Contrary to the Rose, you don't fold the corners to the middle, you fold them halfway from that, so only the edges are folded while making an X-shape. 2. Take hold of the tips of the corners and form the square itself into a gentle ball with the square's outside on the visible part, like the look of a tortoise shell. It should have a hooded look with the outer printed images visible. 3. Put it into your pocket with the tips facing downwards and the hood visible upwards on your pocket. Remember to gently lift it a bit, so it can have a bit of a ruffled and open parachute-like look.

I just bought a pocket square from fort Belvedere for my tuxedo and had a question regarding shoes ,,,I’m looking for a quality wholecut patent oxford that won’t break the bank I probably won’t be wearing them much but do not want cheap ones either . Any suggestions? Ace marks ,shoepassion?

[@TheBinklemNetwork]

Year late and unsure if this is relevant, but as a college student budget is very low for me. I research brands and what they do different from one another THEN I go to thrift stores in well off areas. A couple pairs (Bostonian impressions and dockers) and 3 NICE shirts for a total around 42 bucks and change!

[@eduardoescribanogarcia-bos2693]

Best way as Prince of Wales. But do'nt know exactly how can make it so perfect but whithout seeing it exactly perfect. Believe is one you show but do not which one as you do it so quickly or don't know how you can see it repeat without going throuhg all of the different style. And also like the completly straight one without seen andy edges.

[@jamierife7789]

I usually use the Crown fold myself.

Nice video sir, but I believe the edge of your pocket has come undone! May need to have that fixed

There is only one right way: square

[@darramlogan7126]

When I first saw pocket squares, I thought they were tissues for men to cry on.

[@BeetleBuns]

most human males gouge out their tear ducts as children, so they can't physically cry. The pocket square evolved as a way for human males to attract a mate by showing a potential "sensitive side" which was believed to be more attractive to the females of their species. At least that's what I remember from my textbooks in beetle school.

[@lemonysnicket3153]
