How to wear a brooch — Brooch for different types of clothes

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.

How to wear brooches in style

Refresh­es a busi­ness suit and makes it bright exclu­sive gold or sil­ver brooch embell­ished with pearls, rhine­stones, or an antique embell­ished pin.

One of the pos­si­ble ways to wear a brooch on a jack­et is to choose a mod­el clear geo­met­ric shapecon­sist­ing of blocks of a con­trast­ing col­or.
