How do you wear a brooch or pin?

A brooch or pin may seem like a small detail, but it can instantly add more color and character to a simple outfit. Wear one striking design as an eyecatcher or combine several pins for a playful, personal look.

With a brooch or pin, you can instantly give even the simplest outfit more fun, color, and character.

Colorful brooch worn on a blazer

1. Wear a brooch on your blazer or jacket

A brooch on a blazer is the classic way to wear one — and still one of the most beautiful.

Place the design on the lapel, slightly above the chest, or a bit higher towards the shoulder. One striking design instantly gives a basic blazer more personality.

Color, shape, and reflection stand out especially well on solid and dark fabrics.

2. Wear pins on your bag or backpack

Looking for something more subtle? Then pins on a bag or backpack are perfect.

Denim, canvas, and sturdy cotton fabrics are particularly suitable. With one small pin, you make a bag more personal; with multiple pins, you create a colorful collection.

For example, combine different shapes within the same color palette, or opt for contrasting colors.

Looking for a small, colorful gift?

Pins are original, personal, and easy to tailor to the style or favorite color of the recipient.

3. Wear a pin on your sweater, blouse, or beanie

Pins don't just work on a jacket or bag. They also look surprisingly good on a sweater, blouse, or beanie.

Wear a pin on the collar, on the chest, or as a small accent on a beanie. A small pin is usually lighter than a classic brooch and therefore easy to combine.

For delicate fabrics, do pay attention to the weight and the pin back. On a sturdy sweater or beanie, a pin usually stays in place better.

Prefer not to have a pin prick through your clothing?

Wearable Wall Art is worn using a magnetic attachment. Place the separately available Magnetic Brooch Cover on the inside of your clothing and the WWA piece on the outside.

This way, you can wear a striking, reflective art object without a pin going through the fabric. The same design can afterwards also be hung on the wall as small art.

4. Wear a brooch on a scarf

A brooch can also be a functional accessory.

Use a brooch to keep a scarf or pashmina in place while adding a striking detail.

Check in advance whether the fabric is sturdy enough and if the brooch is not too heavy. The remaining classic La Miséto brooches are only available while supplies last.

5. Combine multiple pins

Why wear just one when you can combine several pins?

Choose different shapes within the same color palette or combine contrasting colors for a playful look.

An asymmetrical composition often works best. Leave some space between the pins so that each design remains clearly visible.
