Masculine coded attire, lifting a hood to reveal a bouquet of green carnations.

The Green Carnation, first published anonymously in 1894, was a scandalous novel by Robert Hichens whose lead characters are closely based on Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas – also known as "Bosie", whom the author personally knew. It was an instant succès de scandale on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Green Carnation has come to symbolise queer coding both in mainstream and counter-cultures.
