The Sweet Revival of the Brooch
Statement piece.
Brooches are enjoying a revival, and most importantly, they have shed their reputation as being reserved for women of a certain age. The jewellery piece has evolved into a staple statement not just for special occasions but also for the everyday. The style evolution of this classic accessory transcends gender with the likes of John Legend, Timothée Chalamet, and Regé-Jean Page pinning a high-jewellery brooch (or even multiples) on their jacket of late. For this season, adorn your outfit with any one of these brooches and pack a statement in the most sophisticated of ways.
