10 ways to rock a flower brooch this summer—from hats to handbags.
Old-school charm meets new-season sass.
How to Wear a Flower-Shaped Brooch (and Actually Look Cool)
Let’s be real: brooches get a bad rap. Some folks hear “brooch” and picture dusty mannequins or something stuck in grandma’s drawer since 1963. But we're here to flip that narrative. A flower-shaped vintage-inspired brooch is like a fashion Swiss Army knife—unexpectedly useful, slightly dramatic, and very good-looking.
So, how do you wear one without feeling like a museum exhibit? Easy. You make it fun. Here are 10 ways to work that brooch like a boss this summer:
1. Slap It on a Straw Hat
Heading to a picnic? Toss your brooch on your hat and boom—suddenly you’re giving off “rom-com lead in a montage scene” energy.
2. Pimp Your Denim Jacket
Your jean jacket is cool. But your jean jacket with a flower brooch? Now it’s cool and a little artsy. The perfect “I thrift and I know things” vibe.
3. Upgrade That Linen Blouse
Clip a brooch to your collar and transform your work shirt from “meh” to “who is she and why does she look like she owns a bookstore?”
4. Secure Your Scarf (Stylishly)
Scarves love to slip. Brooches love to hold things. They’re basically a summer fling waiting to happen.
5. Jazz Up a Tote Bag
A brooch on a tote says, “Yes, I brought my own bag. And yes, it’s more stylish than yours.” Eco-chic wins every time.
6. Turn It Into Hair Candy
Brooch in a bun? Yes, please. Clip it to a headband or hair tie for a vintage touch that’s all charm and zero effort.
7. Belt It, Baby
Wrap a silk scarf around your waist and pin the brooch in place. Instant waist definition. Way cooler than a regular belt.
8. Stack 'Em High
One brooch is cute. Three brooches? A power move. Group ‘em together on a jacket or blouse like you’re curating a mini art gallery on your chest.
9. Evening Dress Accent
Nothing says “I have my life together” like a flower brooch sitting pretty on the shoulder of a simple evening dress. Classic but not boring.
10. Tuck It Into a Hair Clip
DIY hack: attach the brooch to a large bobby pin or clip. Voilà, you’ve got yourself a fancy hair accessory without the boutique markup.
