There is nothing we love more than the<br />
reemergence of an old trend. This spring, we<br />
see the return of the brooch. Originally used as<br />
cloak fasteners worn by the Celts and Vikings<br />
during the Early Medieval period, brooches<br />
have seen a thing or two. And now they’re back<br />
for more.<br />
Here are a few of our favorite ways to style<br />
your brooches:<br />
Wear Your Brooch on the Back/Clasp<br />
of Dress<br />
A common complaint for accessories that<br />
pin to clothing is that they leave a hole or ruin<br />
fabric. If you’re wearing your hair up, consider<br />
putting a brooch onto the back of your outfit or<br />
on top of the clasp of your dress for a little extra<br />
sparkle. It is a place where any potential holes<br />
will go unnoticed at a later date.<br />
Tie a Neck Scarf and Add a Brooch on Top<br />
In addition to brooches, silk neck scarves are<br />
having a moment. Select one of your choosing<br />
and, once tied, slide the brooch pin into the<br />
knot. By doing so, you can add a statement to<br />
an already trendy accessory.<br />
Add to a Headband or Hat<br />
Brooches are often seen as an accessory for<br />
hats. By adding one atop a cute floppy sun hat<br />
or beret, your look will catch so many eyes. If<br />
you’re more of a headband gal, clipping it to the<br />
side makes for another cute look.<br />
