While worn frequently in the past, boutonnières are now usually reserved for special occasions for which formal wear is standard. Traditionally, a boutonnière was worn pushed through the lapel buttonhole (on the left, the same side as a pocket handkerchief) and the stem is held in place with a loop at the back of the lapel.
