The Style Update: Brooches + Pins

The next time you find yourself with a case of what-to-wear doldrums, consider pinning a little bijoux to your clothing. We get it—at first glance, it’s an item that can easily be dismissed as superfluous in the universe of want versus need. And sure, it may even come across as a little reminiscent of, say, something your grandmother would wear, but trust us: putting on your denim jacket or trench coat for the ten thousandth time might actually feel fresh with one of these pinned to it. To keep the look, ahem, on point, we’re partial to the more-is-more aesthetic—a carefully assembled jumble looks just as cool as a single statement-maker depending on your mood.
