Brooches might get a bad rap — from everyone other than your grandma, that is — but they’re back in a big way. But forget about oversized silk flowers, spangles and sparkles. Instead, go for something a little cleaner with a vintage lean. Why? It’s a little less stuck-in-the-’90s and way cooler. Opt for something geometric, old school cool or plain old lady, but pair your brooch with something edgy, like a denim jacket, a destroyed chambray shirt or a boyfriend sweater. It’s an unexpected way to add a little something that’ll catch eyes and compliments alike.
