Lapel flower (boutonniere)

[softy]

+1 to fresh flowers in your home, and big ups for using them creatively.
Picture 1 is nicer. However, Kent, I almost want to suggest that you opt for something without a ticket pocket and ditch the pocket square. With fewer bells and whistles, the boutonniere could work.

I know styleforvm groupthink is super high lapels all the time, but I think a boutonneire should probably be a bit lower actually, now that I really think about it.

I'm now opposed to ticket pockets, though I'm not going to throw away the two jackets I have with them. I'm still for pocket squares, but I think you have to use a very plain one to not distract from the flower.

Good point. I actually prefer the notch to be level with the shoulders. These are both RTW jackets; all my future ones will be custom.

In theory you could just lower the buttonhole used for the boutonniere. I wonder if it'd look odd.

Some day you'll have to tell me who is making your clothes, Kent.

Apparently you're not very secure in your sexuality, if you think a boutonnière will make you look otherwise.
