A Few Things To Know About Wearing A Christmas Brooch

Posted by johnpreston on September 30th, 2016

The Christmas season is just around the corner and, thus, many people are looking into the purchase of a Christmas brooch, even several Christmas-themed brooches for themselves as well as for their families and friends as gifts. But before buying these decorative personal accessories, here are a few things that you should know about wearing them.

Know the Dos and Don’ts

Yes, indeed, there are dos and don’ts in wearing pins and brooches, which also applies to Christmas-themed brooches.  A few basic guidelines in wearing and choosing them include:

•   Do choose designs that will complement your personal style. You will find a wide range of Christmas-themed designs like silver snowflakes with clear rhinestones, gold-plated silver Christmas tree with green enamel and red crystals, and silver snowmen with black onyx for the eyes and red enamel for the nose and scarf, among others.  You may not be one for avant-garde statement brooches so a smaller brooch with an elegant design is a more suitable choice.

•   Do buy brooches that will complement your existing wardrobe. While brooches are versatile accessories that can be attached to dresses, shirts, and jackets, even with belts, hats and shoes, you have to keep in mind that brooches are accessories to the clothes, not the other way around.

•   Do buy brooches as your Christmas gifts for your family and friends. Just make sure to carefully consider their own personal design preferences in jewellery so that they can actually use these accessories during the Christmas season.

You can also choose brooches as christening gifts for the mother, grandmother and aunts of the baby! Indeed, brooches can be year-round gifts with year-round uses for their recipients.

When and Where to Wear It

The Christmas season is among the most popular times of the year when families and friends gather for good food, good times and good company. You can wear your Christmas-themed brooch to your family reunions, office parties, and even corporate events, which will not only add pizzazz to your outfit but express your unity with the season, so to speak. You can think of it as encouraging others to celebrate the joyous season and expressing your own joy in it.

One of the best things about a single Christmas-themed brooch is its versatility. As previously mentioned, you can wear it with most items in your wardrobe including:

•   Formal gowns and cocktail dresses
•   Berets, beanies, and hats
•   Jackets, sweaters, and blazers
•   Plain shirts, polo shirts, and dress shirts
•   Bags, belts and shoes

If you think about it, you can use a single Christmas-themed brooch in a different place every day so that it always has a new look while also giving the thing on which it’s attached to a new look as well.  You can attach it to your beret for a date on Saturday and then pin it to the lapel of your office jacket on Monday, for example.
