No, these aren’t types of desserts or dance moves, but the names of pocket square folds. From the basic to the bold, A.C. Phillip’s newest book, The Pocket Square: 22 Essential Folds covers every way to style this staple men’s accessory. Filled with tips and tricks, Phillips’ book is an illustrated guide on how to fold pocket squares to achieve different styles like “The Fred Astaire” or “The Cruiseliner.” Don’t fret if you’re not pocket-square savvy because this Thames and Hudson title includes advice from Phillips on when to wear each style in order to avoid fashion “fold”-pas.
