Today’s stylish pocket square technique is brought to you by one of my favourite pocket square folds, the wave. If you prefer a pocket square folds that appear properly constructed rather than simply stuffed into your pocket, the wave fold is an excellent choice. It’s elegant, easy to do, and only takes a few seconds to master.

Getting Started

As with most pocket square folds, the wave starts by laying your pocket square flat on a desk in front of you, positioning it as a diamond. This initial setup is crucial for achieving the clean, crisp lines that make the wave fold so distinctive.

The Folding Process

1. First Fold: Begin by folding the pocket square in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
2. Second Fold: Fold the triangle in half again to form a smaller triangle.
3. Final Fold: Fold the triangle in half one more time, resulting in an even smaller triangle.

Shaping the Waves

With your small triangle ready:

1. Create the Waves: Take one point of the triangle and fold it downwards.
2. Opposite Point: Fold the opposite point backwards.

These folds will give you the basic shape needed for the wave effect.

Finishing Touches

To perfect the wave pocket square fold:

1. Tease the Waves: Use your finger and thumb to gently tease out the folds, creating a wavy pattern.
2. Place in Pocket: Carefully place the folded pocket square into your jacket pocket, adjusting it as needed to achieve the desired look.

The Final Look

The result is a sophisticated, wave-like fold that adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. Despite its refined appearance, this fold is incredibly simple and quick to do, making it a great option for both beginners and seasoned fashion enthusiasts.
