Pin Brooch

How to wear brooches
Brooches are among the most versatile accessories. Far from being frumpy, they are popular and frequently sported by people in the public eye from the first lady to Hollywood starlets. Whatever your signature style, you can create unique looks effortlessly by adding costume, precious metal or wooden brooches.
Are you looking for inspiration? Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
1. The traditional way
Add a brooch or pin to your left jacket lapel, polo-neck or the front of your jumper for a splash of colour or a touch of glamour. This works especially well in winter when it's more difficult to wear necklaces or other jewellery and layer up to keep warm.
2. Make a statement
Liven up that boring monochrome outfit and make a statement by attaching a decorative brooch to a V- or high necked top. Alternatively, attach a brooch at your waist or hips - whether you're slender or curvy, this will help accentuate your figure.
3. Functional and fabulous
Own a cardigan or top that's too big? Just use a brooch to cinch it in at the back or as a clasp at the front for individual charm.
4. The scarf-brooch combo
Want a little French chic? Wrap the scarf around your neck and fasten in place with a brooch. Simple but effective. For a slightly more modern take on this look, place the scarf around your waist or hips instead to draw the eye downwards and accentuate your figure.
5. Glam it up!
From transforming ordinary belts and drab day bags to indvidualising satin evening purses and clutch bags, all you need is a colourful or sparkly brooch. You can either pin the brooch directly on the belt or bag, or for leather or delicate items, use a piece of ribbon to hang the brooch or tie it in place while protecting the bag or belt.
6. Creative up-do
Turn that bad hair day around. Convert that messy bun or boring ponytail into a creative updo by pinning your favourite brooch in your hair or creating your own hair band with brooch attached. Great for a new day or elegant evening look.
7. The brooch pendant
To make your own unique, eye-catching necklace simply attach your favourite brooch to a chain or cord. Ta-da!
8. The fashion emergency
Brooches can be lifesavers in a fashion emergency. If you've ever experienced a zip-breaking, button-popping or material-ripping moment while out-and-about, you'll appreciate this. More appealing than the humble safety pin, brooches can disguise a fashion disaster and preserve your modesty. Just stash a brooch or two in your handbag and if disaster strikes, you know you're prepared.
Remember, the key to carrying of any of the above looks is to choose a brooch that fits your personality. There's a vast choice of brooch styles, colours and designs out there. Whether you go for sparkly, silver designs or bright wooden brooches, make sure you wear it with confidence!
