Boutonnière carnation
Evening wear: the buttonhole carnation
The silk carnation in the buttonhole of a tuxedo (black tie) or tailcoat (white tie) has almost disappeared from the public consciousness. But there are tireless advocates of classic clothing culture - and here you see them again as a sartorial sign of good taste: the discreet small, the classic and always "correct" medium (our bestseller) and the somewhat theatrical large buttonhole carnation.
According to the occasion
Such a boutonnière can serve as an icebreaker and lead to interesting conversations during a rather boring evening. It is also not too formal for everyday use and certainly not for opera premieres or state receptions. However, it should be chosen according to the occasion and worn with confidence - only then can it unfold its full effect. Maximilian Mogg humorously summarizes it: "Now the owner of half a dozen boutonnières from Herr von Welt, I can rightly claim that I have never adorned my suits better before. A buttonhole flower is the most beautiful icebreaker in conversations with star lawyers, heads of state, and streetwise ladies, etc. How could one have dressed properly before, without a silk boutonnière?"

"Some time ago, we were able to recruit the British bandleader Alex Mendham as an ambassador for our boutonnieres. (Interview and video clip in the blog)"

"In addition to the classic white and red carnation, the crimson boutonnière is the sartorial secret weapon of the gentleman. But decide for yourself."
