There are different ways to rock a brooch, not just the cliche ways we are most familiar with.
Brooches have always been in vogue and are a popular form of jewelry. Brooches do not just exist to be used as a piece of adornment, Its main purpose in the past was to hold cloaks or tunics in place, and solely for the bourgeoisie class until its function gradually took a cosmetic turn. A brooch is an item that can be placed anywhere on the body to create an effect.
Here are a few ways your brooch can make you stand out:
USE IT ON YOUR SCARF
Scarves add a touch of glam to just about any outfit. While picking a suitable brooch for a scarf, it is important to consider the weight of the brooch in relation to the choice of scarf. Strategically fastening your scarf with a brooch adds a tinge of sophistication while saving you from retying it often throughout the day.
WEAR IT ON YOUR DRESS
A brooch often works by adding detail to an otherwise boring outfit. It is to be worn conveniently either on your left or right side. Experts, however, opine that a brooch should be worn more on the left side because that is where the eyes go when shaking hands.
ON YOUR CLUTCH/BAG
Brooches are the few pieces of fashion that are not limited by size. Adding a brooch to the top corner of a regular purse or bag is a great way to transform a contemporary piece to a unique classic one.
ON YOUR NECKLINE
Wearing a brooch at the center of your collarbones is another way to create an amazing effect. Also, Wearing it at the topmost button of a button-down shirt, is an additional awesome way to give your neckline a statement.
IN YOUR HAIR
Pulling your hair up and securing it with a brooch for formal occasions or letting it fall with a brooch to the sides could go a long way in adding a little sparkle to your weave and general appearance.
ON THE LAPEL OF YOUR BLAZER
A Brooch is a versatile piece that can be worn on anything from an evening gown, to a t-shirt, a tuxedo, or a blazer. Adding a brooch to the lapel of your blazer provides an eccentric edge and is suitable for corporate or casual functions.
