You probably thought this accessory was a ‘don’t’ straight out of your great-grandmother’s closet. Fashion has a way of cycling through the styles, and this year, designers have reinvented the brooch. From Prada to Celine to Balenciaga and Chanel, our favorite designers have featured this accessory in their ready-to-wear collections. Check out our favorites below!

1. Chanel

[Jade Butterfly Brooch] [Blue Monarch Butterfly Brooch]

This feminine and flowy look is perfect for the summer. Just add a butterfly brooch to add a touch of color and flair.

 

2. Oscar de la Renta

[Chanel Onyx & Diamond Brooch][Givenchy Flower Pin]

If you tend to dress in monochrome, take advice from the Oscar de la Renta runway. Monochrome patterns were accessorized with floral brooches to break up the monotony while keeping the color palette simple.

 

3. Dolce & Gabbana

[Givenchy 5 Star][T&C Wreath][T&C Feather][Chanel Snowflake][T&C Brooch/Earring Set]

There was no such thing as too much in Dolce & Gabbana’s RTW show. Looks were accessorized with as many matching brooches they could fit as possible. We were fond of the glittering gold.

 

4. Les Copains

[T&C Sapphire Dragon Fly Brooch][Cellino Insect Brooch]

For fantastic and feminine accessories, Les Copains paired sparking earrings with sparkling necklaces and brooches too. We especially liked the nature-inspired glittering insect brooch.
