Fold a Pocket Square

As any good ad man (or snappy dresser) knows, the Devil is in the details. It’s how you accessorize that sharp suit that will win admirers. Style expert Amy E. Goodman offers pointers on being neatly appointed:

Pocket squares: To achieve the square-ended fold preferred by Mad Men, start by folding your pocket square in half lengthwise. Then fold the rectangle into thirds. Fold the bottom half up so it almost reaches the top edge. Leave a sliver of fabric showing at the top and insert into your jacket pocket.

Watches: Try the Timex Men’s Elegant watch in Silvertone ($100). Featuring a modern thin profile, line indices and Roman numerals, it’ll never go out of style. Roger Sterling would approve!
