How many wear or have considered wearing a boutonniere with your fly suit? Do you think having a fresh cut colorful boutonniere along with a pocket square could make some heads turn in a positive way?

This is an old pic of Jack Buchanan and how he pulled it off.

You wold certainly be a modern novelty, as far as I know. However, I may stand to be quickly corrected by avid suit donners, such as G.

Formal fashion styles progress, with some styles being cyclical. For instance, a 3 piece suit may one year be in style and another year not. Colors and fabrics, obviously, tend to be cyclical with the season.

My point is that the boutonnière may have once been an acceptable style outside of wedding type affairs, but may never have cycled back around again to be 'in style' for nightlife party type formal wear. If thats the case, then you could certainly still wear one, but you might be bucking the modern fashion dogma. But then again, who gives a shit and who will really notice if you aren't completely conformist with modern formal fashion. If you like it, and it looks good, and you think it might help you pull, then wear it.

Again, I might stand to be corrected on weather or not it conforms with modern fashion.

Thanks for the reply. It may be a matter of doing something out of the norm to gain attention, if it is something you like. However, one always runs the risk of getting negative attention to. Some do say that any attention is better than no attention.

Interesting that you brought this up.

I know no one, and I mean no one (and many of my friends roll suited down) that I know that is younger that rolls these. And when I say "younger" I mean under 50 years old.

That being said, I know older cats bust it. One super well respected old-school G I know a little bit busts one everyday. Real flower. Fresh each day. With sick suits.

In closing, like Hydro said, "But then again, who gives a shit and who will really notice if you aren't completely conformist with modern formal fashion. "

Like my grandfather told me, "Fashion and trends is for the ladies, Style and class are for the men".

This move is Style and class.
