Coined by the French a "Boutonnière" is a little bit of floral flourish worn by men for special occasions on the lapel of their jackets. The British term for it is "Buttonhole" which (as immature as it sounds) I don't care for how that sounds at all. Boutonniere's used to be worn much more frequently by the likes of dashing Hollywood men such as Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra. Nowadays you usually only see men wearing boutonniere's at weddings (or proms for you young uns reading this).
