Vintage Floral Brooches — A Strong Unisex Styling Trend

Brooches have moved well beyond traditional formal jewelry and are increasingly styled as unisex fashion accessories. A compact 18K floral brooch can work particularly well on a tailored men's blazer, tuxedo jacket, dinner jacket, cashmere coat, or overcoat. For women, it can be worn on a jacket lapel, evening dress, scarf, handbag, or coat.

For a contemporary fashion look, this piece can be worn slightly off-center on a blazer or jacket, rather than in the traditional centered position. The floral form also makes it particularly suitable for fashion-editorial styling, where vintage jewelry is mixed with modern tailoring.
