The Pocket Square:


• A petite arrangement of flowers that pokes out from the external breast pocket of a grooms suit or tuxedo jacket.

• Not all suits have open breast pockets, especially in more contemporary styles. Something to consider when deciding.

The Boutonnière:


• A boutonnière is a small floral decoration, typically a single flower or bud, worn on the lapel of a suit jacket.

• For suits without functional breast pockets, the boutonnière becomes the preferred choice for adding a touch of flair.
