Pins & Brooches Are Back: How to Wear This Vintage Trend in 2025

Jewelry trends are cyclical, and one of the biggest comebacks this year is the return of pins and brooches. Once considered a vintage accessory, brooches are now a statement piece seen on runways, red carpets, and everyday outfits. Whether you're drawn to bold, oversized designs or delicate, intricate pins, there’s a way to style this classic accessory to suit any look.

Why Brooches Are Back
Fashion houses like Chanel, Gucci, and Prada have reintroduced brooches in their latest collections, proving that this once-traditional accessory is anything but outdated. Celebrities and influencers have also embraced the trend, wearing brooches in unexpected ways—on hats, denim jackets, handbags, and even as hair accessories.

How to Wear Pins & Brooches in 2025
1. Classic Placement: On a Lapel or Blazer
The most timeless way to wear a brooch is pinned to the lapel of a blazer or coat. Opt for a single statement brooch or layer multiple smaller pins for a unique, collected look.

2. On Sweaters & Dresses
Elevate a simple sweater or dress by adding a brooch near the neckline or at the waistline as a focal point. Pearls, florals, and abstract designs add elegance to knitwear and structured dresses alike.

3. On Accessories: Bags, Hats & Belts
Give your handbag or belt a personalized touch by adding a decorative pin. This works especially well with structured bags and woven belts, transforming an everyday piece into a fashion-forward statement.

4. In Your Hair
Yes, brooches can double as hair accessories! Secure one onto a fabric headband or pin it directly into a sleek updo for a glamorous vintage-inspired look.

5. Mix & Match for a Modern Edge
Brooches don’t have to feel old-fashioned. Mix vintage finds with contemporary designs, or play with mismatched styles to create an eclectic, modern aesthetic.

What’s Trending in Brooch Designs?
Floral & Nature-Inspired: Classic motifs like roses, vines, and birds
Pearls & Gemstones: A touch of elegance with vintage appeal
Oversized Statement Pieces: Bold, sculptural designs
Abstract & Modern Shapes: Geometric and artistic interpretations
Personalized & Sentimental Pieces: Initials, family heirlooms, or custom-made designs

Time to Bring Out Your Brooches!
If you have vintage brooches tucked away, now is the time to wear them again. And if you’re looking for something new, explore both classic and contemporary designs to add this versatile trend to your collection.
