A sparkly pin or brooch can be just the accessory to add a unique dash of glamor to your personal style. The key to using pins and brooches in your look is to remember that they are accent pieces. You want to add dazzle and spark to your outfit, but you don’t want to overwhelm. When it comes to bold accessories such as pins and brooches, less is definitely more. Never wear more than one pin or brooch at the same time, and keep other accessories, particularly jewelry, to a minimum. Follow these tips for enhancing your personal image with pins and brooches.
1. Nowadays, you can find interesting pins and brooches at an affordable price at just about any accessory store or jewelry counter. But a true vintage pin or brooch can make a unique statement. Look for vintage pins and brooches at thrift stores and yard sales. You may have to sort through a lot of tacky old costume jewelry, but you are likely to find a gem that makes it all worth it if you look hard enough.
2. Size is important. Don’t be afraid to go big. Small tasteful pins that can barely be seen from a couple of feet away do not make much of an impression, and they will tend to make you look overly prim and even old-fashioned. Pins and brooches should be noticed and appreciated. They should attract attention. At the same time, don’t wear a brooch that is so big that anyone who meets you cannot help but stare. You want your brooch to enhance and complement your look, not overshadow you completely. If your friends and acquaintances are paying more attention to your brooch than to you, then there is a problem. In general, pins or brooches between one and three inches long make the best accessories.
3. Gold and silver are great. But the trend today is toward pins or brooches with some color and sparkle. Seek out pins and brooches that use gems, beads, and pearls to create a splash of color and shine.
4. Pay attention to the message you are sending out with your pin or brooch. Today’s pins and brooches come in all kinds of shapes and designs. You will find lots of flowers and abstract shapes, but you will also find pins and brooches in the shape of animals--birds, leopards, owls, elephants. Crosses, stars, and butterflies are other popular designs for brooches and pins. Victorian-style cameos are also making a come-back. When it comes to creating your own personal style, the more unusual and eye-catching, the better. But make sure that the brooch or pin you choose is appropriate to the occasion. A cubic zirconia skull may be a big hit at a party, a club, or an art gallery opening. But a more subtle flower would be more appropriate for the office or your mother’s birthday party.
5. Use your brooches and pins in unique ways to show off your capacity to be a trendsetter. Brooches and pins are often used to fasten shawls and adorn scarfs. But don’t limit yourself to the tried and true. A colorful butterfly brooch pinned to your hat band can be a classy but fashionable addition to a plain black hat. A pin in the shape of a bow is the perfect accessory for a beret. You can add new interest to your no-frills jean or leather jacket or your solid, trusty winter coat by adding a brilliant brooch. If you are wearing your hair up, you can use a large brooch to add glamor to your hairstyle and cover up your hairpins. Pins and brooches can even accessorize accessories-- add one to a plain, classic black hand bag and turn it into the ultimate evening clutch.
