Brooches

Brooches are probably the oldest form of decoration or jewelry, dating back to prehistoric times. As a contemporary fashion accessory, a brooch is invaluable, adding detail or decoration to a plain outfit or serving a functional purpose as a fastening. Brooches can range from the latest designer jewelry creations to simple enamel or silver clasps. The Stylight site offers an extensive selection of modern and classic designs.

Put a Pin on It: Glam Up Your Wardrobe With Brooches

Brooches are ornate and precious accessories that once embellished your grandmother’s outfits. But your dear grandmother was on to something. Now it’s time you learn the magic behind clasping a brooch onto any wardrobe essential.

For such a petite accessory, brooches pack a punch by injecting a dose of vintage and glamour into any ensemble. Deck yourself out in jewels that won’t you weigh you down with the help of the following pieces:

Bejeweled Blazers

The blazer is already a standout piece because of its versatility and polished appearance. Give it a break from the corporate world and invite it into to your eveningwear. Substitute a necklace by pinning a single brooch or multiple pins along the lapel for extra shine.

Studded Satchels

A suede or leather handbag is elegant and timeless on its own, but we think it’s missing a special spark. Embellish your trusty carry-on with a ruffled flower brooch that’ll add a feminine factor to a structured item. It’s a small detail that’ll dress up the most minimal pieces from a neutral sheath dress to a button down shirt.

Spruced Up Scarves

You can knot, wrap and braid your many scarves, but for a more simple approach, add a brooch. Not only will it secure your scarves, but it’ll lend a little sparkle. From a subtle geometric pin to a quirky jewel-encrusted beetle, a brooch adds personality to your daily uniform. Baring your shoulders in a tank top or strapless dress? Wrap yourself in a scarf and secure it with a brooch in the snap of clasp.

Dazzling Dresses

A neutral frock with an unmarked neckline is begging for some pizzazz. Line up brooches of all shapes, colors and textures along the neckline to give your overused statement necklace a run for its money. Serving as the ultimate conversation piece, your brooches will outshine all other accessories at any gala.

Think of your items as a blank canvas and let brooches add the color and gleam to distinguish your wardrobe from all the rest. We promise their glimmer of style and elegance will make you not want to unpin them.
