Other styles to consider, but not shown here: the straight, the waterfall, the 4-pointer, the 3-stairs fold, etc
When to wear
Now that you know how to fold them, the next question is when to wear them?
Any formal occasion (e.g., wedding, gala event, red-carpet party) is fine. As far as which method for which occasion &#8230; well that&#8217;s up to your own sartorial preference and what you want to project.
It&#8217;s mostly about what feels right for your style and personality and, quite simply, what you feel most confident in.
Also, it&#8217;s important  to remember to match your pocket square with other accessories, like your tie.
