How to Style a Scallop Pocket Square Fold
The scallop pocket square is not strictly formal because of its organic shape. But with the right styling, you can totally tone it up and be ready for fancier social settings.
It will look stunning on glossy fabrics like silk or satin. Also, pocket squares made from these kinds of materials will show off the elegant folds and won’t look too stiff.
For formal events like weddings or social parties wherein you can be a little funky, we encourage you to be bold and opt for colourful fabrics. You can also try trendy patterns to match the event’s joyous vibe.
While for strict black tie events, you can still rock the scallop pocket square fold with pocket squares with monochromatic colours that is both classy and stylish. Stripes will give this folding technique a symmetrical contrast with the organic shape of the fold.
Now, here’s a rundown of this amazing fold:
How to Fold a Scallop Pocket Square
- Lay your pocket square flat.
- Grab the bottom left corner and drag it diagonally to meet the right top corner. You should have a half diagonal triangle.
- Then, do the same thing on the bottom right corner going up across to meet the top left part. Now, you should have an inverted smaller triangle.
- Slightly curl the left corner of the pocket square in and downward. Do not press in too much to emphasize a rounded fold. Just bend it inward at a bit on an angle.
- Then repeat on the right side. Bend it in and downwards slightly angled laying it on top of the other corner you curled inward.
