Life-Sized Red Carnation

Size (Life Size): About 2.75' | 6.5cm

The quintessential boutonniere, a carnation is never out of place on a suit or overcoat. Truly versatile due to its popularity both on-screen and on the lapels of some of the most notable characters in history, every gentleman will benefit from having a carnation boutonniere in his collection.

A red carnation makes for a great companion to a tuxedo, tailcoat or overcoat and is a bold contrasting statement. It is a classic boutonniere flower and has been worn by Fred Astaire, The Rat Pack, and many other elegant gentlemen. Hence, it is pretty much a staple and should be an integral part of your boutonniere collection.

Pair it with a navy or charcoal suit to allow the vibrant red to stand out beautifully. Complement the boutonniere with a white dress shirt and a matching red tie or pocket square to create a cohesive and polished ensemble. This combination is perfect for formal events or special occasions, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your attire.

Handcrafted from fine silk and dyed using artisan techniques, the luster of a Fort Belvedere carnation boutonniere will last infinitely longer than a freshly cut flower.
