How To Fold A Pocket Square - The Rose Fold

Pocket squares have been around for ages in one form or another. The modern version we know today was predated by the handkerchief, which dates all the way back to ancient Egyptians, who used hankies for hygienic purposes like wiping off dirt or sweat from the face. The pocket square’s popularity can be credited to King Richard II of England, who popularized handkerchiefs in 1390 because of a personal preference for carrying one with him wherever he went. Fast-forward to the 1900s, and everyone who was anyone was toting one. By WWII, however, the idea of a handkerchief fell out of style for sanitary reasons, and pocket squares were known from then on as the fashion accessory we know today.

In the past century, dozens of different ways to fold the square were born. From the ornate four peak to the crisp presidential, there’s a fold suitable for any occasion, be it casual, formal, or somewhere in between. Here’s one way to fold your pocket square, the Rose fold.Your style will thank you.

Thought he was about to do a magic trick at the start

[eish]

All I did was wrinkle the handkerchief. I need to practice.

[cardiac]

That looks nothing like the thumbnail. 🌷

[Keimotorider]

[Alhamdulillah.e.rabil.alameen]

Nicely done, thank you. Wedding coming up, this video will be handy.

[Emersonakram]

The one you made and showed is way different from the one in the thumb nail

I wish I could wear a suit everywhere. But mongrels in my office all come in Tshirts and jeans.

[InfonTech]

Does anyone know where to find this white edged, plum square? Been looking all over and can't find it even on the site associated with this channel.

[PopExtra]

That didn't seem so hard to do. Looks very beautiful 😄

[DaCake]

Thank you so much! Does it have to be a silk pocket square or can you use cotton and linen as well?

[Gillysaurxx]

Is a pocket square just a classier name for handkerchief?

[wiledorigin]

lol, this is the old scoo how to make a rose out of a tissue. i almost died laughing thanks reminds me of Elementary

[pungschannel]

One day I'll be matured enough to see this without laughing 😂

[digitig]

It all works fine for me, except I can't work out how to tighten the knot. "Pull on the folded end"? It's *all* folded!

[kevinb]

This video needs explanation. What’s the left hand doing? Tight? Loose?

[alanmorris]

First display the handkerchief, while no one notices the hidden coin in your left hand. Cover your left hand with the handkerchief and push the egg into your left hand and when no one is watching....

[demonangel]

Honestly, it doesn't look as nice as it does in the thumbnail but ima give it a try
