Whether you're dressing up for a wedding, gala, or another formal occasion, this fold is the perfect way to elevate your style. Here’s how you can master the Split Diamond Pocket Square Fold in just a few easy steps.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Split Diamond Fold
1. Smooth the fabric on a flat surface
Begin by laying your pocket square flat on a clean, smooth surface. This ensures there are no wrinkles, creating a polished finish for the final look.
2. Fold it in half lengthwise
Fold the pocket square in half lengthwise to create a neat rectangle. Ensure the edges align for a crisp fold.
3. Fold it again to form a square
Take the rectangle you’ve created and fold it in half once more to make a smaller square. This forms the foundation for the Split Diamond shape.
4. Create a triangle
Fold the square diagonally by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. This will form a small triangle. Ensure the edges are sharp and even.
5. Shape the diamond
Take each of the lower corners of the triangle and fold them upwards towards the centre point of the triangle. This creates the "split diamond" shape that gives this fold its name.
6. Tuck it into your pocket
Gently place the folded pocket square into your jacket pocket, ensuring the split diamond peaks are visible. Adjust as needed for a balanced, symmetrical look.
Why Choose the Split Diamond Fold?
The Split Diamond Fold is versatile, easy to create, and works beautifully with most pocket squares. Its clean lines and refined shape make it a fantastic choice for both formal and semi-formal events.
