Even a ball cap can be dressed up with a brightly colored or detailed brooch. Pin it to the front of the cap where most companies place their insignia. Attach one to the side for something a bit different. If you don't wear ball caps, then stick a brooch on any plain looking hat you own and see what you think.

Do you ever find yourself getting ready to leave the house when you suddenly notice the blouse you're wearing gaps in the front? Use a brooch to close this gap.

Brooches can be fastened to just about anywhere on a purse made of canvas or other thin material. If you have a leather purse you are thinking about dressing up a tad, you might be able to attach the brooch to the zipper pull or any metal rings dangling from the purse itself. You could also wrap a brightly colored strip of ribbon around the strap where it attaches to the purse and place the brooch on the section of ribbon.

Keep a silk or rayon scarf in place by securing the loose ends with an elegant brooch. Even a winter scarf can be the perfect place to display some of your favorite brooches. Maybe you have 2 or 3 winter-themed brooches and you can't decide which one to wear. If they all look good together, then why not add them all to the end of your winter scarf you wear most often?

You don't always have a spare hand to keep your shawl closed, so why not let a brooch do the job for you. This is the perfect opportunity to wear a brooch that is rather large, since it's often difficult to find a good time to wear such a brooch with regular clothing.

Brooches come in all shapes and sizes. The very small ones make excellent necklaces. This technique is great for when you have a particular brooch you'd like to wear, but no place to pin it.

I think this is a very common place to wear a brooch, but one of my favorites since I tend to have my coat on most of the time. Adding a brooch to the lapel of your coat will enable you to dress up any old coat, no matter how plain it might be. In my opinion, the plainer the coat the better because then your lovely brooch will stand out even more.

I hope you can use these 7 fun ways to wear a brooch or they at least give you ideas to devise your own method of accessorizing with brooches. How do you tend to wear a brooch most often?
