This is 5 Reasons why I Love Brooches

Post By trung hieu Sharing, Fashion Trends brooch, flower brooch No Comments

Brooches have made a comeback. The key to updating a classic style is to add a new twist. Wear the brooch in an unconventional way or be a little quirky. Be that as it may, I was very excited to be sharing some motivation on one of my greatest pet interests: brooches! So I thought I’d delve a bit deeper into the subject, and share with you 5 reasons why I love brooches. Because, they’re still high on my list of favourite accessories.

And who knows? Maybe after reading this, they’ll be on yours too:

They are ultra feminine.

In fact, brooches have been historically worn by people in Roman, Greek, Viking and Celtic social orders

But post 19th century brooches became more and more ornate, and became widely recognized as beautiful embellishments for women’s hats, dresses, jackets and even gloves.

Which doesn’t imply that guys can’t take them too!

They have a vintage, demure air.

Some women believe brooches to be somewhat a bit old fashioned.

But you know what?

For lovers of vintage, demure or granny chic style, they are golden! A pin can help you express your romantic, dreamy, whimsical side. Or on the other hand they can be really playful, elegant, and even majestic looking.

They can be an amazing looking “olden days” piece in contrast to your modern day outfit.

They aren’t so commonplace.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but brooches aren’t the most popular accessories. Which doesn’t mean you should steer clear too- on the contrary! It just means that brooches will provide you a more unique look.

What’s more, in case you’re after really exceptional pieces, hit up the vintage markets.

Make sure to do your research before buying, then have fun!

They easily provide a big visual impact.

In case you’re burnt out on explanation pieces of jewelry or enormous studs, you can always repy on your brooch.

Pin one (or a couple) to your blouse, hap or your bag, and watch people “Ooh! and “Aah!” over them.

The most fun part?

You can mix and match your pieces, and rely on your pins for an outfit pick-me-up.

They can be worn in a myriad of ways.

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and I’m super curious to hear if you’re as fanatic for brooches as I am. Let me know down below!

4 WAYS TO STYLE YOUR BROOCHES FOR THIS FALL 2020

Post By trung hieu Using Flower Brooches, Fashion Trends, Life style, Sharing brooch, flower brooch, handmade brooch No Comments

Brooches stay one of our favorite vintage jewelry items, since they allow for unbelievable personalization of your style. Follow 4 ways to style your Brooches for this fall 2020.

After all, the mix you choose is something no one else can re-create. Mixing your favorite quirky motifs with timeless pieces like pearls, florals and simple shapes, is a sure way to express yourself.

Brooches are actually quite versatile as they come in a range of different sizes. Mini sizes are perfect for lapels and collars while everyday and statement pieces are big enough to stand on their own.

Fall is our favorite season to “Brooch it” because of the wide range of heavier fabrics and textures we have to work with. While the power of a single statement brooch should always be in style, this year, we particularly love an assortment of mini brooches on blazers and jacket. Here are our favorite ways to style a brooch for this fall

The Solo STATEMENT Brooch

Show off your favorite statement brooch on a chunky sweater or jacket. It’s easy and effortless, but makes a big style statement. Similar to the gold leaf brooch above, here’s another one of our favorites that can stand on its own when pinned to your top or outerwear.

THE CENTERPIECE BROOCH

Try adding an everyday brooch to the center of a collar. Furthermore, here’s a styling secret for you: pieces with simple one and fewer color varieties, similar to the all white one above, are easier to match with bold prints or tops with lots of color. You can think of the centerpiece brooch as the final embellishment to make a bold blouse even more personal.

Mix masculine and feminine

In the case that you have a field, army or even moto style coat, differentiate the more masculine vibe of the outerwear with a group of feminine brooches

Experiment with the scale of the brooches, mixing one larger brooch with smaller ones around it. For more about curating your own collection, check out our how to guide!

Line ’em up!

An easy way to personalize your everyday blazer is to stack a series of mini brooches on the garment’s lapel. In this case, we recommend sticking to similar shapes and sizes.
