How to Make a Double Point Square for Your Suit

The pocket square often gives the appearance of success.

While the pocket square fell out of fashion sometime in the 1960s and 1970s, many men in the 2010s are beginning to bring new life to this vintage style. Pocket squares add a touch of color and class to a suit. Many men know the secrets of making a single-point pocket square. But learning how to make a double-point square adds even more elegance.

Instructions

1. Place your pocket square on a flat surface, such as an ironing board or on top of a dresser. Fold it so it looks like a diamond, with one point facing toward you.

2. Fold your pocket square in half, moving away from your body. The square should now look like a triangle with the point facing away from you.

3. Move the top half of the tip of the triangle point slightly to the left of the bottom half of the tip of the triangle point.

4. Fold the left point of your triangle toward the right point, but only extend it one third of the way toward the right point.

5. Fold the right point of your pocket square so that the point touches the line created from folding the left point.

6. Place the pocket square inside of your suit's breast pocket. The two points should face up.
