I've never worn a brooch in my life, I am almost 40.

Do you ever wear a brooch? are they only for old ladies who run village fetes?

I am currently looking for new jewellery to go with autumn outfits and keep seeing pretty brooches but I really don't know if I would wear one or could pull it off

Wear whatever makes you happy. Be yourself and who cares what others think.

I have lots of brooches and started wearing them in the last year. I really like them. I get lots second hand or from charity shops very cheaply. I wear them on coats and jackets usually, but sometimes on shirts. There’s an Instagrammer called the Elegant Stylist who I follow, who’s a big fan of brooches.

Never seen anyone under 60 wear one

Brooch!

No I don't wear brooches.

Brooch!

Broaching is something else entirely!

No, they're not something I would ever wear.
