How to Wear a Flower in Your Hair Without Looking Like an A-Hole

This weird thing happens once every couple of years, when without any real basis (see: past trends, bubbling trends, media influence) I become obsessively intrigued by a quirk that I definitively adopt as indigenous to my style.

In 2013 — the last documented example of the aforementioned — I committed my neck to cloaking by way of various forms of bandana. It started innocently with those of the cotton-silk blend variety, tying them neatly into my sweaters, under my button downs and over my t-shirts. Then my balls flung through the walls and there they were: popping up on my wrists and ankles and between my belt loops. Then on my head. I even made a video about it.

I forced Amelia to try an “MR Diet” about it.

When faced with the conundrum: buy a bandana for yourself with the last remaining twenty euros in your pocket, or eat lunch at an airport in Split, Croatia, I chose the bandana.

But all of this is to say nothing at all. Nothing bad, at least. Because here I still wear them — right? They’ve impacted my style-psyche in a way that is profound enough to, I think, lend a little salt to the fact that for the past three weeks, I have been walking around Manhattan with a 39-cent polyester flower clipped into my hair.

The initiation of this non-trend sprouted naively too. At Stella McCartney’s Resort presentation last month, they were being handed out to riff on the theme at hand: Cuban joie de vivre, or maybe it’s “Alegria de vivir.” But I? I took them and ran. And now? Now you’re being forced to watch as in three simple attempts to prove that you can wear florals in your hair without looking like an asshole, I determinately prove myself as…

An asshole.

But it’s fun! Advise the slideshow above for captions and tipz and the like.
