Wear a lapel pin anywhere that you'd like to highlight your personality! For example, you could choose a lapel pin that says a word or phrase.

Yes, it should be fine to take a lapel pin on a plane. To make the security screening process go more smoothly, take your pin off before you go through the security checkpoint at the airport and send it through the X-ray with other personal items, like your wallet and keys. If you have any doubts about what’s allowed, contact your airline before you fly.

Lapel pins are decorative, although they can also be used to display your affiliation with a particular organization, cause, or political group.

Staff Answer

It’s okay to wear a lapel pin as long as it’s subtle and doesn’t send any overt political messages. Avoid wearing too many accessories, since this can be distracting (for example, don’t go into the interview wearing a lapel pin, pocket square, tie tack, ring, and flashy watch all at once).

No, it's okay, as long as you give credit to the author and wikiHow, it won't be an issue.
