Beautiful Ways to Wear a Brooch – Glam Radar

A brooch – whether diamond-encrusted or fancy – is a lovely accessory that can brighten up any outfit. However, do you know that there’s more to a brooch than just wearing it on top of your bust? Expand your fashion horizons with these beautiful ways to wear a brooch.

It’s all about the Location

Wearing your brooch on top of your left or right bust is a timeless style. But if you want to create a nouveau trend, then relocate your brooch to another destination.

A good location to consider is the center of your collarbones, where the topmost buttons of a button-down shirt meet. It can give the precious look of a statement necklace, minus the strand.
