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.
