There are many accessories that can instantly enliven any, even the simplest clothes. However, few of them are as popular as a brooch — a piece of jewelry with a special clasp equipped with a sharp needle that pierces even thick fabric. This iconic jewel has once again become a fashion trend. She is again popular and wins the hearts of many women. But today, few people know how to properly wear a brooch. To dispel doubts, we will give brief recommendations for choosing and wearing it.

How to use a brooch as a decoration

The brooch is an elegant and worthy accessory that is suitable not only for an evening, but also for a casual look. With the right choice, it replaces other decorations.

The most popular types of brooches:

• jewelry pin — an elegant thing in the form of a lollipop. It fastens with a long needle;
• cameo — decoration with a complex relief design and stones;
• fibula ring — a round brooch with a hairpin running along the entire diameter of the ring;
• ICON — a small badge coated with enamel, designed to be worn on the lapel of a jacket sleeve or other clothing, which indicates belonging to a particular organization;
• decorative pin with or without stones — an accessory that has become vintage and, regardless of the material of manufacture, is perceived as expensive and stylish.

How to wear a brooch on clothes

No country or culture in the world has strict rules on how to wear brooches. The main thing is that it fits the image and occasion.

• It is permissible to pin discreet, minimalist jewelry to strict clothes for working in the office (suit, vest, blouse, sweater) or on a coat.
• On a date or in a restaurant with friends, more decorated models with interesting motifs will be appropriate.

Also, brooches can be seen on caps, bags, belts, scarves, chokers and even on shoes. Patchwork shoes are best suited for this, as they work better with fabric cuff loops than with shoes made from other materials such as leather. Such shoes will not suffer when removing jewelry.

A brooch in the form of a flower can be pinned on a women’s hat made of fabric or straw, and a voluminous antique vintage accessory can be pinned on a winter hat.

How to wear a brooch on a dress

Almost all women love dresses. They always add charm and grace. Despite the fact that the dresses themselves are often decorative, ladies do not refuse to choose jewelry for them. But the more decorative the dress, the more modest the brooch should be. If the dress is classic or in a strict style, you can experiment a little.

Also, when choosing a brooch, the material from which it is made is important. Gold — perfect for a black or red dress. Silver — should be combined with a white, black or gray dress.

The larger the brooch in the image, the more noticeable it will be. Owners of small breasts can choose large jewelry. For women with large breasts, it is better to choose a product of a smaller size, in a more discreet design. Thanks to this, this decoration will not look powerful.

As for fastening, brooches on clothes are most often pinned to the left side. If you throw a scarf or shawl over the outfit, you can attach this decoration there.

Miniature brooches on casual dresses are almost invisible, so it’s worth wearing a few pieces of jewelry — this will make the look more interesting. There are options associated with the combination of this accessory with a necklace and chains.

The brooch is attached to the evening dress in the neckline. A massive necklace with a retro-style brooch looks even brighter. Together they play with new colors. Then the brooch should not end on the chest, but like a tie, between the two ends of the collar, or be placed in the middle of the neckline. A combination of a brooch with a necklace adorned with precious stones will look especially beautiful.
