The little carnation in the buttonhole
During the French Revolution, a red carnation was a symbol of the nobles who were guillotined. No matter what color: A carnation like this is traditionally worn with a tuxedo or tailcoat and therefore has a black silk stem that, once it peeks cheekily from behind the lapel, remains almost invisible.
