5 Top Ways To Wear Your Brooch This Season

Brooches are viewed as old, antique jewellery, however not anymore. If Vogue are viewing brooches as on trend then so are we! ‘Pins’, as they are known by designers, are adding elegant glamour to our outfits once more. Designers like Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs are contrasting the trend to extremes; one viewing it as delicate and ornate, whilst the other is being rebellious and decorating outfits left, right and centre. Here at Jon Richard we’ve come up with the 5 best ways to sport your brooch this season.

Blazer Lapels

Keep it classic by accessorising your blazer lapels, you can never be outdated with this trend. Michael Kors is a big fan of traditional and has showcased his brooches as a statement piece on the lapels. Oversize your accessory to make more of an impact, or opt for a decorative pin to attract peoples’ attention. Why not try this embellished Hummingbird brooch, or if you’re after something more classic what about this blue crystal butterfly brooch?

Shirt

To glam up an everyday outfit, a brooch is all you need. Versace presented this way of styling your brooch and of course it was a success. It’s the easiest way of brightening up your outfit and will come across simply effortless. It is such a versatile accessory; you’re bound to find a shirt to match! This crystal filigree flower brooch from Jon Richard would sit perfectly on a plain white blouse, or if you want to add some colour try this green navette floral brooch.

Bag

It can be painful to pierce a hole in your favourite bag but a brooch could rejuvenate a tired accessory and give it a whole new look.

This pearl flower brooch would look perfect on a black evening bag or add a lot of glam with this diamond shape embellished brooch from Jon Richard.

Collar

Who needs a top button when you have a brooch instead? Attach a bold brooch to your collar to secure your shirt or with a statement or simple pin, add some subtle glamour.
