Accessories are a girl’s best friend but aside from the staples like necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings, there is the often-underrated brooch or pin that can easily transform any conservative look to a more contemporary one.

Brooches are an exceptional way to embellish yourself and to add that final glow to complete your look. It is imperative to make an appropriate choice but since the options are limitless, choosing becomes a herculean task.

Everyone is accustomed to wearing their brooch on their bust but there are other interesting pairings.

Check out how a brooch can elevate your outfit with these ideas:

1. The norm is to wear them on your bust, but how about trying them on your collarbones. It gives the illusion of having on a statement neck piece when you are actually being creative with your brooch.

4. Wearing a scarf shouldn’t be boring, and there are a variety of ways to rock your scarf. Keep the scarf in place by pinning a brooch to the ends.

The brooch as a jewel form has been somewhat undervalued in recent years. Commonly perceived as being out of sync with contemporary tastes, its often-baroque nature is often dismissed as being too narrative rich for simpler, cleaner tastes. But brooche...

5. Secure your button-less coats with a brooch and whatever your style may be, you may decide to go with the cape-like feel by pinning it closer to your neck or wearing it close to your midsection to create the illusion of a belt with bling.
