How to fold a pocket square with two corners up:

Another popular way to fold a pocket square is the “two corners up” fold. This folding technique is better suited for thinner materials such as silk pocket squares. The second tip gives the pocket square more hold and it is less likely to slide around in your breast pocket.

Instructions on folding a pocket square: Two corners up

1. Lay the pocket square on a flat surface.
2. Fold the pocket square near the center so that it looks like two overlapping triangles (2 corners have show at the tip)
3. Then, fold in one of the sides.
4. Do the same for the opposite side. You are done!

Typical mistakes when folding the pocket square two corners up.

1. Problem: The corners are not staying in place. If this happens pay attention to the second step. Make sure that you give the pocket square a good fold. Create an edge along the fold just like when folding a piece of paper.
2. Problem: The pocket square slides down into your pocket. This actually happened quite often regardless of the type of pocket square fold you are choosing. The easiest way to fix this is by using a slightly thicker pocket square such as one made from cotton or linen.
3. Problem: The pocket square doesn’t stay inside of the pocket. If this happens it is a quite easy fix. Simple stick the pocket square deeper into the pocket. If this doesn’t work, then fold in less of each side of the pocket square. This will make it wider and fit tighter inside your pocket. Still not looking right? Then try this: Ad some extra weight to the bottom of the pocket square. Adding two or three coins in the fold of the pocket square will do the trick.
