Brooches

Pin a brooch on the collar of a plain white shirt. It adds instant personality. Try the Tender Butterfly Brooch for $11.99 or the Rose Lady Brooch for $12.99. Both work great for work or a night out.

Layer two brooches on a denim jacket. Use the Wheat Style Brooch in gold for $17.99 with the Malachite Green Drop Oil Feather for $14.99. Mixing metals and colors looks fresh and modern. This trick answers the top shopper question on how to style brooches.

Men can clip a brooch on a lapel or a hat. The Energy Battery Brooch for $9.99 or the Unisex Temperament Corsage for $10.99 are easy options. They add a small detail without being loud.

Use a small felt pad or a piece of fabric behind the pin. This stops the clasp from pulling threads. You can buy these pads at any craft store for a few dollars.

For delicate silk scarves, clip the brooch through the scarf only. Do not pin through the fabric underneath. The Tender Butterfly Brooch works well for this method. It keeps your clothes safe and you look sharp.
