Brooches are gaining popularity in the fashion world and are trending now. THE BROOCH IS BACK in a big way and in a different way! The belief that a brooch is worn only by someone in their 70’s is no longer true. Not only are brooches popular with the young at heart but we are seeing new, creative and unique ways of wearing them, from a fresh perspective. Hollywood is getting on the trend wagon with many starlets adorning beautiful brooches to dress up their attire. A simple brooch has the power to add so much PUNCH to any outfit, and we want to encourage you to pull out your brooches and be creative, have fun and go wild! TAKE A SELFIE, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW YOU WEAR YOUR BROOCH.
Hair Art – More and more women are adding brooches to their hair to spruce up their evening look and adding a whole lot of style and glam. But the trend is slightly shifting so you will see brooches showing up in hair styles to add a special personal touch that is just perfect for daywear looks. Add a cluster of common themed brooches to a headband to make a statement. For a dresser look use blinged out brooches and be part of this hot trend.
Spruce Up Any Hat – Attach your favourite brooch or pin to a hat/beret to add some interest and style. Swap that plain sports cap for a shiny embellished cap! For a completely different look altogether turn up the front lip of a hat and add your brooch for some flare. Hats of all kinds are becoming the trend now so have fun dressing them up and changing the look.
Scarves With A Twist – Then there are scarves that just need that extra depth and dimension that a brooch will give. Brooches can add colour to a plain scarf and add interest and shine to a scarf that will coordinate with a more dressy outfit. Shawls are great on those chilly nights and a brooch can not only add style but can keep your wrap in place and closed. But take your scarf to a second level and use it in your hair and secure with a brooch for the next hottest trend!
Blazers & Jackets – Brooches and pins are a great way to freshen up a plain blazer and add a dressy or playful style to your outfit. The hottest thing now is to wear a cluster of different sizes of brooches around the collarbone area, but just make sure that they all have a common theme so they do not clash with each other. There are really no limits so use your imagination and go wild and your personality will shine.
Sweaters – We have seen brooches pinned to sweaters for many years. Today we are seeing vibrant brooches used to cinche a cardigan sweater together and add visual interest. Also trending is using a brooch as a button in certain areas…how fun is that!
DIY Necklace – Add a statement piece necklace to your outfit by adding an elaborate brooch to a chain…..the brooch slips on easily. You can really get so many uses out of a brooch and no one can tell when you wear it as a necklace. You can do this with pearls also add a brooch to a plain strand of single double or triple pearls and add an elegant timeless look that is great for any outfit.
Pants – Yes brooches look great pinned to the belt loop of you pants, the thigh area and even on the bottom cuff of your rolled up jeans…show your uniqueness with this great look.
