The Brooch Revival: Not Just for Grandmas Anymore
I'm loving the comeback of this playful accessory
Julia, here! Brooches are having a real comeback, and I’m thrilled about it. They’ve been popping up on runways and new arrivals, but what I love most is how a single pin can change the mood of an outfit in one move. They remind me of my grandmother, and great-grandmother in the best way. That spirit still works now: it invites personality—a whimsical critter next to something clean and deco.
My favorite way to wear them lately is simple and intentional. I’ll pin one high on a blazer lapel, or at the edge of a crewneck so it reads like a modern necklace. On a dress, I love placing a brooch at the hip or anchoring a scarf, so it drapes as I move. The key is scale and placement—go bolder on textured fabrics like tweed or bouclé, and keep the rest of the jewelry quieter so the brooch can lead.
When it comes to finding the right piece, I’m always drawn to vintage, and those one-off florals or geometric shapes that feel interesting without leaning costume. That said, there are beautiful new options, too, with clean lines and thoughtful proportions that sit nicely on a lapel or knit. I look for good weight, a secure closure, and a shape that lies flat. Whether it’s a vintage treasure or something newly made, the best brooch is the one you’ll actually pin on and wear.
