This week, our image consultant Kimberly Law demonstrates point folds with the two, three and four point folds.

Point folds work best with linen or cotton handkerchiefs.

They are stiffer than silk so they maintain their shape better.

Linen and cotton squares should be irregularly arranged and points shouldn’t appear mathematically exact or flattened.

For a crisper look, iron the handkerchief first.

3 Point / 4 Point Folds (demonstrated in video)

Place handkerchief on a flat surface open with corner facing upward
Fold in half towards the top (corners off center for 4 point)
Fold left corner over to the right to create a point
Fold the right corner over the left to create a point
Depending on the width you may need to fold left and right sides again

Point folds appear structured and elegant. They work well for formal and conservative business occasions.
