The chicest way to elevate your outfits this winter doesn’t come down to the perfect shoe pairing, nor is it about buying a buzzy new season dress. Instead, the most impactful styling move is far more understated—a low-key accessory trend the most discerning dressers are pinning to everything right now.
Sidestepping predictable drop earrings and everyday pendant necklaces, brooches have suddenly emerged as the hardest-working accessory in the fashion person’s arsenal.
Suddenly indispensable, they’re completing some of the most elegant looks I’ve spotted this season—adding polish and intrigue to chunky knits, giving tailored coats a sleek focal point, even cinching scarves with sophistication.
And while a dip into your mother’s (or grandmother’s) jewellery box might uncover a forgotten gem or two, there’s also a trove of beautifully designed new-in options landing right now.
With Pinterest predicting brooches as one of 2026’s most impactful trends, and noting that search interest in the accessory was up by +100 in 2025, it's clear that this trend still has plenty of mileage left.
From contemporary pieces to elegant vintage finds, read on to discover the best brooches to shop now.
