A good brooch can take any look from casual to chic

The classic brooch has been around for centuries, and was originally used to secure and fasten cloaks and other garments during the winter. However, brooches have come a long way since then, and are now seen as a stylish accessory that can be used to elevate any look - so it may be worth raiding your grandma’s drawers!

Whether you’re after a one with a bold designer logo to make a real statement or something a little dantier to add a touch of sparkle, there are thousands of brooches out there to suit all budgets and personal styles.

Now, it's not uncommon for Kate Middleton to sport a stylish brooch, and with King Charles III's Coronation coming up, we're expecting to see the Princess of Wales and other members of the Royal Family incorporating brooches into their outfits, especially as they're back in style - so it's definitely worth jumping on the hype.

From casual cardigans to oversized blazers, a brooch can be worn to smarten up any item of clothing - and we’ve picked out our top 10 to buy right now, from Gucci to ASOS.

Investing in a designer brooch can be pretty pricey, and if you're not looking to fork out a fortune, a great option is to rent one out from sites such as Huur Collective and My Wardrobe HQ where you can find everything from Chanel and D&G to Christian Dior.
