Brooches are back and cooler than ever! I have always been a brooch fan but this year we're going to see them everywhere. Whether you want to elevate a simple outfit or experiment with a layered effect,  brooches are your new best friends. And the best part? You can find lots of great options at Scott-Samuel and they are a really inexpensive wy to update your outfit!

Let’s explore the art of brooch styling and how you can incorporate them into your daily wardrobe. 

1. The Classic Lapel Brooch.

The lapel pin style is a classic. Go solo with a large statement brooch, or add something more subtle to your blazer or coat.

This Camellia Wool brooch works well in a contrasting colour to your coat or blazer.

2. Cluster Them for Drama

Why stop at one? Layering multiple brooches is one of the season’s hottest trends. Mix and match styles—think gemstones with pearls, or modern shapes with vintage motifs—for a personalized statement piece. This approach was everywhere on the runways, where clusters of brooches adorned coats, dresses, and even bags. For this look, you can mix and match sizes, colours, textures.

3. Cinch It at the Waist

Brooches aren’t just for your upper half. Cinching your waist with a brooch is a clever way to update your outfit. Tuck and pin one on your blouse, shirt, jumper or t shirt to create a cinched in look or different silhouette.

4. Ruche your knitwear

Use a brooch to ruche the bottom of your knitwear, revealing a white t shirt under neath or a lace trimmed top or lace scarf.

4. Pin to Your Accessories

Who says brooches are just for clothes? Pin one onto your favourite scarf, hat, or even your handbag for a unique touch. Saw lots of brooches on hats at Copenhagen Fashion week, this week. Brooches on scarves or knitted neckerchiefs can look really cool and are an alternative to tying them.

5. Add a brooch to a cardigan, jumper or scarf, tied at your waist.

I LOVE this one for a fresh modern look.  So easy. Looks great when your knitwear or scarf is a contrasting colour. This would work well with the Starburst brooch or the circular or twisted oval brooches. 

6. Pin to the cuff of your jumper!

I love this look on the cuff of a chunky knit layered over a shirt. Will def be trying this one myself! Love the pearls against the grey.
