Don’t cut corners

A step-by-step to a perfect pocket square

On-point. That’s what you’ll be if you get your pocket square game right. Why bother with a sh** hot suit if you’re going to let the side down with sloppy accessorising?

Boss a sharply folded pocket square and you’re the man who knows what he’s doing.

It’s not rocket science. But because I’m a generous guy, I’m going to let you in on a couple of folds that’ll sort the men from the boys on Prom Night.

The Two Point’s your classic technique. The Winged Puff is for when you’ve got the balls to step it up a notch.

One more thing: Matching’s for amateurs.

What you want is a pocket square that picks up the colours of your tie or bow tie and complements the colour of your shirt.

Extra points if you pull off a pattern clash.
