- Fold the pocket square near the middle so that it looks like two overlapping triangles (2 corners have show at the tip)

- 1.The corners are not staying in place: If this is the case then pay attention to step #2. Ensure that you give the pocket square a good fold si that the long side near the fold creates an edge – just like when folding a piece of paper.
- 1.The pocket square slides in your breast pocket: A common problem for many men. The easiest way to fix this is by using a slightly thicker pocket square and/or a pocket square that is made from cotton or linen.
- The pocket square falls out of your pocket: One way to fix this is by sticking the pocket square deeper into your pocket. If still doesn’t work, then make the pocket square fit a little tighter by folding in less of the corners (step 3 and 4). Still not working? Then try this trick: Ad some weight to the bottom of the pocket square. Adding two or three quarters in the fold of the pocket square is an easy fix.
