The lapel flower pin is back and it’s arguably the most popular accessory for guys looking to accentuate their suit or sports jacket and make a serious sartorial statement. Forget begrudgingly wearing a flower or a boutonniere on your lapel for your next wedding or special occasion. Today’s re-invented lapel flower is a fun, versatile way for the modern man to add a little character to any suited look and make use of that lone, seemingly irrelevant buttonhole.
For those not willing to shell out a couple hundred bucks on a Lanvin flower pin (remember that the French fashion label helped usher in this old school trend), Canadian label Just Sultan may have the answer. Handcrafted in Toronto, designer Sultan Sandur has launched a range of affordable men’s suiting accessories that are designed to take any guys look to the next level. Of course, my favourite offering from the new label is their lapel pins. They are available in a variety of colours and so easy to wear. Simply slide the pin through the buttonhole on your jacket’s lapel and swag on.
The fabric flowers instantly add a jolt of texture to your jacket without looking ostentatious and, they ring up at $20.00… so they are ultra-affordable.
Plus, isn’t it about time that lone lapel buttonhole returned to relevancy?
Just Sultan’s flower lapel pins are available in select Toronto boutiques or online at: www.justsultan.com.
