How to Wear a Brooch This Fall (Brooches Are Back!)

Vintage vibes are back, and the brooch is leading the way. It is the easiest way to make a jacket, a sweater or even a hat look one of a kind. Here is how we wear ours this fall.

1. Start on the lapel

The classic spot. Pin one brooch on the left lapel of a blazer, just below the collarbone. A bold piece like the Jaguar Brooch with its glass stone spots, or the Leopard Brooch, does all the work on its own.

2. Make a cluster

One is chic. Three is a statement. Group two or three brooches of different sizes together, like the Bee Brooch, a leaf and the Sunflower Brooch. Mix shapes but keep the metal the same so it looks intentional.

3. Go somewhere unexpected

Pin a brooch at the neckline of a button-down, on a scarf, a handbag strap or a hat band. The Bow Brooch looks sweet at the collar, and the Inez Brooch has flexible petals that move as you do.

4. Wear it on game day

A brooch is the easiest game day accessory there is. The Tiger Brooch on a denim jacket or purple and gold top says Geaux Tigers without saying a word.
