Buttonholes

Originating from the French word boutonníére, a buttonhole is a floral decoration usually worn by men. Traditionally a buttonhole is worn pushed through a lapel buttonhole. It is worn in the left hand collar, on the same side as the pocket, and the stem is held in place by a pin. If there is not a lapel hole it can be pinned straight onto the jacket lapel. They are worn for special occasions, such as weddings.
