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
- First Fold: Begin by folding the pocket square in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
- Second Fold: Fold the triangle in half again to form a smaller triangle.
- Final Fold: Fold the triangle in half one more time, resulting in an even smaller triangle.
Shaping the Waves
With your small triangle ready:
- Create the Waves: Take one point of the triangle and fold it downwards.
- 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:
- Tease the Waves: Use your finger and thumb to gently tease out the folds, creating a wavy pattern.
- 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.
