How to Style a Stair Pocket Square Fold

To achieve the peaks and pleats of this fold, a fabric that can hold itself, like cotton or linen, is highly recommended.

But a well-ironed satin or silk will also work wonders. The sheen from this kind of material will give a subtle depth to the points and lines of the fold.

Since this classy fold gives a very clean and crisp finish to your look, we recommend for you to use pocket squares with plain colour or pieces with just simple design. Louder patterns will just take away the attention from the structure of this fold.

This folding technique is undeniably fancy and will only be appropriate to be worn on strictly formal events. You wouldn’t want to intimidate your colleagues on a regular day in the office, right?

Now, here’s how to achieve this lavish arrangement with ease:

  1. First, start by laying out your pocket square flat in a diamond shape. Then take the bottom part upwards to meet the upper part, making a pyramid.
  2. Then take the second fold from the top going downwards, make sure to leave half an inch to create our first pleat.
  3. Take the same part of the fabric and fold it again upwards and down again. Be sure to leave another half an inch space, identical to the first pleat we created.
  4. Do the same thing again for the third pleat. Be careful on creating the pleats making sure they all have the same width.
  5. Now, using your thumb on one hand, hold the three pleats we have created and fold the pocket square in half creating a smaller pyramid.
  6. Hold the small pyramid firmly and flip it over exposing the three pleats on top.
  7. We’re almost done, now take the excess fabric on the left and fold it inwards.
  8. Do the same thing on the right side to the middle. The pocket square should have the three stair-like folds on top. Lastly, slide it in on your jacket pocket and adjust as necessary.
