How to Wear a Brooch in the 21st Century

If you think of brooches, you’re usually thinking early 1950s-1970s fashion—or even as far back as Victorian ages! Brooches are a staple of classic women’s fashion and jewelry. They can usually be worn on the clothing instead of a low-hanging necklace pendant, or as a pin to further enhance the outfit.
