See How You Can Draw Simple Wrinkles with Substance 3D Painter

Making wrinkles on 3D clothing can be challenging, but there is a simple way to add volume to your outfits. An artist known as Third Penguin has a solution for Substance 3D Painter users, which should help you create pretty realistic folds.

According to their advice (machine-translated), you need to add a new fill layer, move the Height parameter to the right, add a black mask, set Blur to 0.3, and then complete the wrinkles with Muhammad Sohail Anwar's free Cloth Seam Brushes.

The resulting texture looks nice indeed, but most importantly, this workflow will save you precious time.

Third Penguin is great at modeling clothes, however complex, which you can see in their works on X/Twitter.
