WEAR A BROOCH ON A JUMPER OR ON THE COLLAR OF YOUR SHIRT… WE GIVE YOU SOME OUTFIT IDEAS !
Did you know that? There are two schools of thought when it comes to wearing brooches: those who respect the historical codes and those who transgress them. Without forgetting that the priority is above all to have fun and to express one’s own personality !
Women wore brooches for decades. Then, in the 1980s, they disappeared from all ladies. Their history was thus halted by a long period of dislike… And then fashion, eternal restarting, put them back on the ranks in the 80s and 90s with great advertising campaigns, until they covered all the pretty clothing.
In the past, wearing a brooch was codified. For example, you had to wear your brooch on your left shoulder (because it would bring balance) or you had to avoid wearing it with any other type of jewellery. But these codes are no longer in fashion… Today, the wearing of brooches has been liberated and everyone can propose their own approach to the subject by styling their outfit. Here are some new contemporary ways of wearing this accessory :
MATCH YOUR BROOCH TO YOUR JUMPER :
Whether it’s on a thick winter jumper or a thin spring jumper, the brooch will add a colourful and glamorous touch that can turn your most mundane knitwear into an original piece! The great thing about jumpers is that they come in a wide range of styles and colours. So you can create lots of different styles by playing with shapes, colours, the position of the brooch…
ATTACH A BROOCH TO HIS JACKET :
Whether you wear your jacket open or closed, accessorising it with a pretty , brooch will make it unique! Blazer, denim jacket, bomber… Don’t hesitate to experiment!
ASSEMBLE SPINDLE AND SLEEVE :
As the shirt is commonly the dressy garment by nature, the brooch goes perfectly with it. On a plain piece, the brooch will quickly become the highlight of the outfit. For even more style, pin it to your shirt collar! This not only holds the collar but also gives your outfit a retro/vintage touch, we love it! Another tip: although our brooches are lightweight, make sure beforehand that the fabric of your shirt will support the weight of the chosen brooch.
COMBINE BROOCH AND COAT :
In autumn and winter, wearing a brooch on a coat adds a touch of sparkle to an often dull climate. In addition, larger brooches look great on a coat. However, you will have to pay attention to the style and colour of the coat to get the best result. Whether it is a light or dark coat, the key is to create an interesting contrast between the two pieces.
THE BROOCH AS AN XXL PENDANT :
In the Ciléa workshop, we do not hesitate to use tricks and magic to make our jewellery as practical as possible. We don’t hesitate to transform any brooch into a pendant, making it all the more fun and playful! Simply insert the clasp of the brooch into one of the rings of the chain. This will allow you to maximise its use and to obtain an effect that will certainly be noticed on a beautiful occasion!
