Brooches or pins are one of those antiquated things that a lot of us associate with our grandmothers. Most young modern women don’t consider brooches when they think of jewelry pieces to invest in. Yet brooches are surprisingly versatile. They featured prominently in the spring shows of Celine, Oscar De La Renta, Chanel and Vera Wang, as well as the fall shows of Prada and Chanel.

They make a great fall accessory. I love the idea of pinning one on to a beautiful scarf, a satin headband or even a ribbon belt. You can also go the traditional route by pinning them to a lapel or even a cuff. A way to keep the look unfussy, is to pair it with a blazer that has a little edge, like a fitted cropped version, or a bomber style.

Another fun way to wear a brooch is to add it to the shoulder of your dress. The ideas are really endless, as there is no wrong way to wear one, the only limit is your creativity.
