How to fold a pocket square? The Reverse Puff

With an effortless vibe in mind - something close to the so-called sprezzatura - everything that matters here is the movement that we're going to apply to that small piece of fabric. We want to come up with something natural, easy to fold, unfold, refold and so on. Looking for the right gesture. The one that will bring impact to your two-button, double breasted or blazer jacket.

Here we go.
