Custom Lapel Pin Etiquette For Men

By Karina Frost


One of the most common follies of man is their profound and sometimes way over the top appreciation for what they see as beautiful. They favor the beauty of a particular thing or individual, sometimes even choosing to look past other important things and just focusing on the aesthetically pleasant. People who are naturally endowed consider themselves lucky, as everyone tries do things that will make them as gorgeous as humanly possible.

Well, ridiculous or not, majority of human beings still strive hard to be beautiful. They buy the trendiest clothes. They pair it up with expensive footwear. They carry fashionable bags around, and put on their jewelries. Women own matching sets mostly, while the fashionable men often choose custom lapel pin to look good in formal suits.

These small things are often made from so many different materials. They can be made of cloisonne, off set, soft enamel, or even die struck style. Some are even made of nickel, silver, and gold parts. They are generally really small to exude the aura of subtlety and elegance.

They are widely used as a complementary thing for suits and jackets. They have been used by males for years, ever since they were marketed to the public. Their name comes mainly from the fact that they are usually attached to the lapels of formal suits. They are sometimes attached there as some sort of decorative item.

The representational pins, on the other hand, has symbolic meaning. They could take the form of the country flag, symbols of organizations, or logos of companies. When a person decides to wear such an item, he is indicating that he identifies himself with the group whose symbol is blatantly pinned on his chest.

These symbolic pins are worn mostly at the left side of a jacket, at the lapel near the heart. They usually come in really tiny sizes. Most of them only measure no more than one half of an inch from any dimension. Due to their really small size, they are often easily lost, so the wearer must always see to it that he has his pin safely secured at all times.

Normally, men wear theirs in the close vicinity of the buttonhole of the left side lapel. These pins can also be placed in a straight line out from the buttonhole, touching the outside of the seam. Most also never wear more than one.

Even though majority of the men wear those on the left, it is not a mortal fashion sin to wear one on the right. In the absence of a jacket, one can even wear it in the center of a necktie. There are only some organizations, however, who follow strict dress codes, even down to the precise location such things should be attached.

They are not required for use every time a man decides to don on formal clothing. Not every one also chooses to wear one, too, for their own personal reasons. Mostly, politicians and business magnates wear them when they meet up with other equally powerful people.
