Instead, these pins are typically just symbols of affiliation. (Symbols of more general social causes might be justified for wear by celebrities taking advantage of red-carpet media coverage but they can’t be similarly vindicated when worn by regular folk to regular black-tie events.) Lapel pins are also not equivalent to the special case of the remembrance poppy that is expected to be worn day and night for a designated period of time. It is neither issued by historic national bodies nor is its receipt dependent upon candidates meeting a stated set of criteria. Obviously, we can rule out the typical lapel pin as a type of official decoration. It is also the reason behind formal wear’s very specific protocols for military and civilian decorations. These special traits can easily be eroded by the addition of accessories, which is why there are traditional restrictions on ornamental items such as boutonnieres, pocket squares, and jewelry.

The little Canada pin comes with a gold clip at the back to keep it in place, so there’s no way you’ll lose that poppy. In place of the tiny silver dot on most poppies, you’ll have a Canadian flag at the centre of the flower. Replace the poppy pin with a tiny Canadian flag pin (the kind you find at the dollar store). This one is a variation on the safety pin trick, but with a Canadian twist. It means losing the silver middle of the poppy, but it’s also a safe bet to keep the flower in place. Weave it through the base of the poppy once, then clip it on your shirt or coat.
The poppy will move, but it shouldn’t slip away with a stopper on the end of it.Īn old earring cap can also do the trick.ĭitch that troublesome pin for something that locks in place, like a safety pin. Stick a piece of tape or a chunk of cork on the end of the poppy pin to keep it from sliding off. And since the donations for every poppy go to charity, why not drop a few more quarters on backups? Some people would rather buy extra poppies than worry about securing the first one they pick up. The extra threading adds friction to the pin and gives it a better chance of staying on.
