In this blog, we’ll walk you through the steps to master the Rabbit Fold and bring a touch of playful elegance to your look.
Step-by-Step Guide: The Rabbit Pocket Square Fold
1. Smooth the Pocket Square Down on a Flat Surface
Start with a clean, pressed pocket square. Lay it flat on a smooth surface to ensure that every fold is precise.
2. Bring All the Points Up Together to Create a Diamond Shape
Pinch the centre of the pocket square and lift it up, allowing the corners to come together. Arrange them to form a diamond shape with all points pointing upward. These points will form the "rabbit ears."
3. Fold the Front Corner Down
Take the front corner of the diamond and fold it downward toward the base of the pocket square. This begins to shape the fold and creates a flat base for the rest of the steps.
4. Fold One Side Over
Fold one side of the pocket square inward toward the centre, overlapping slightly with the front corner you just folded.
5. Fold the Other Side Over Repeat the process with the opposite side, folding it toward the centre to form a neat, compact structure. At this stage, the rabbit ears should start taking shape.
6. Fold the Back Point Down to Create the Top of the Rabbit’s Head
To give the fold its characteristic “rabbit head” look, fold the back point downward. This creates a rounded appearance at the top, accentuating the playful design.
7. Place the Folded Fabric Into Your Jacket Pocket
Carefully tuck the folded pocket square into your jacket pocket. Adjust the positioning so that the “rabbit ears” are perked up and symmetrical, creating a charming finish.
