Abstract
A pocket square enclosure for securing a pocket square, thereby preventing the pocket square from moving or unfolding. A back enclosure secures the pocket square enclosure to the suit pocket, thereby incorporating the enclosure itself into the fashion of the pocket square. In an embodiment, the pocket square could be flippable, where a first pocket square pattern, color, or design faces one direction from the enclosure, and a second pocket square pattern, color, or design face the other for fast, on-the-fly adjustment to the user's fashion accessory. Other designs could include spikes or other design elements added to the pocket square.
