How to: Why Lapel Pins Matter

Lapel Pins: Tradition Meets Style Evolution

The lapel pin has a long-standing tradition of being worn on the left side, right where a breast pocket sits. This subtle addition has historically added a touch of elegance, but just like fashion itself, the rules have evolved. Today, lapel pins are all about personal expression and creativity. While the single left-side pin still holds its charm, we now see people doubling up—wearing pins on both sides or even going bold with a trio of pins!

Hunter jackets, with their classic and understated style, work best with muted tones. Think a foxhead lapel pin, or a timeless rose or carnation pin. 

On the other hand, open jackets invite a bit more flair. They naturally lend themselves to more decorative options—such as blingy crowns, pearls, or jeweled accents. 

So, what’s the golden rule? There are no rules! Whether you’re keeping it classic with a single pin or going for a modern twist with multiples, the beauty of lapel pins lies in their versatility. Your jacket, your style, your choice—what really matters is that it reflects you!
