Puff Fold pocket square - The Best Method?
The puff pocket square fold is a technique that allows you to achieve an elegant yet effortless look. In this method, the pocket square is arranged in a soft, slightly spread-out shape, adding a touch of nonchalance to the outfit.
Key Principles of Folding a Puff Pocket Square
When you fold a pocket square in the so-called puff style, only the broadly defined central part of the pocket square will be visible from the pocket.
This knowledge is crucial when selecting accessories to complement the rest of your outfit.
Take a look at the example – you can see the pocket square both unfolded and folded. After folding it into a puff, only its center remains visible.
We say "broadly defined center" because you can slightly adjust it, positioning the pocket square to reveal more of the right or left central part, depending on which color or pattern you want to highlight.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you want to buy a pocket square that matches a green tie, pay attention to whether the center of the design contains colors that complement green.
In the photo, you see a man wearing a brick-colored blazer, which pairs well with shades like orange and red. These colors appear in the pocket square within the face of the female figure depicted on it.

Quick Puff Fold & a Touch of Nonchalance
Wondering how to fold a pocket square into a puff? We’ve got good news – the whole process shouldn’t take longer than walking from one room to the hallway. The key is to keep it relaxed and avoid over-arranging the pocket square in your blazer pocket.
Don't over-perfect the puff fold – naturalness and a slight, controlled casualness are the keys to success in this case.
Here’s how to do it step by step (spoiler: it’s ridiculously easy!):
- Lay the pocket square flat on the palm of your hand.
- Pinch the center just as if you were picking up a pinch of salt and lift it, letting the edges fall naturally.
- With your other hand, gently squeeze the fabric just below the center point.
- Place the pocket square into your blazer pocket, allowing the folds to form a soft, natural shape above the pocket edge.
Curious About the Origin of the Puff Fold?
The name puff comes from English and means bubble, blow, or fluffiness. It refers to the characteristic shape created when folding a pocket square using this method—a slightly puffed, rounded fold that elegantly peeks out from the blazer pocket.
This technique mimics the effect of naturally arranged fabric, as if it were gently blown up, adding a touch of nonchalance while maintaining an elegant look.
