Read on for Arctic Fashion's quick tips for how to wear brooches.
- 1. The traditional way
- Add a brooch or pin to your polo-neck, jacket lapel or the front of your jumper to add a splash of colour or a touch of glamour to your outfit.
- 2. Customise your look
- Revitalise that boring monochrome outfit and make a statement by attaching a decorative brooch to a V- or high necked top. Whether you're slender or curvy, a brooch on your waist or hips will accentuate your figure.
- 3. Functional and fabulous
- Got a cardigan that's too big? Use a brooch to cinch it in at the back or as a clasp at the front for individual charm.
- 4. The scarf-brooch combo
- Like French chic? Wrap a scarf around your neck or waist and fasten with a brooch. Simple and effective.
- 5. Glam it up
- From transforming ordinary leather belts and drab day bags to indvidualising evening purses and clutch bags, all you need is a colourful or sparkly brooch.
- 6. Creative up-do
- Turn that bad hair day around. Convert that boring bun into a creative updo by pinning your favourite brooch in your hair or creating your own hair band with brooch attached. Great for unique day or elegant evening looks.
- 7. The fashion emergency
- Brooches can be lifesavers in a fashion emergency. If you've ever experienced a zip-breaking, button-popping or material-ripping moment while out-and-about, you'll appreciate this. More appealing than the humble safety pin, brooches can disguise a fashion disaster and preserve your modesty. Just stash a brooch or two in your handbag and if disaster strikes, you know you're prepared.
