If you were thinking that brooches were out of trends, this season you might just change your mind

Brooches are definitely the come-back of the season. People with a good sense of fashion unanimously applauded all the public appearances of the newest first lady of the USA. She definitely succeeded in convincing us all that brooches are one of those accessories that can become a fashionista's signature - she is the living example that simple is just perfect if added a sparkling pin.

Nothing more, nothing less, but exactly what you might need. Even though they go way back in history, pins do nowadays a bit more than just keeping your garment together. They state your fashion credo much better than you could do it. What certainly matters is where and how you're ready to show off your brooch.

Among others, Ralph Lauren suggested that a sophisticated woman wouldn't cover it up in the cold season, but wear it in plain sight - on the hat or cap. An extravagant feathered or sparkling pin can always turn into a recklessly bold headdress embellishment. Your bag can also be subject for change if its fabric allows you to “sting” it for the sake of fashion tendencies.

Even the most traditional trend-lover can put on a pin and look unique. Not only the lapels of your suit jacket can bear a beautiful brooch, but there are other areas to be covered - fashionistas on the red carpet, like Kate Backinsale, Sharon Stone, etc., expressed their creative side when wearing pins quite low on their dresses, almost on the waist. If the frock is cut like a roman tunic, the result is nothing but astonishing beauty.

With the new wild and colorful boho tendencies pacing the street, a brooch made of unconventional materials, such as wood or clay, can pin up quite nicely a shredded shawl or a folksy scarf around your waist.
