What do people think of brooches?

[TickledOnion]

Are they very old-fashioned? I bought a plain grey t-shirt because I like the shape and have added a sparkly dragonfly brooch but really don’t know if I like the look. Please advise.

Well now....if you're under 30 and the brooch is particularly beautiful, you could look very nice.

If you're my age...45, you might look like a batty craft teacher.

it's a fine line.

Also...if you like it, then it doesn't really matter.

Oh dear. I’m 40 and not very fashionable.

Here’s a photo. 😬

I like it (but then I've been rocking the batty craft teacher look for years...)

It looks fine - I think it looks smart. op

Lovely. Definitely wear it. The rest of your outfit is simple and this adds a touch of style and uniqueness.

I love a nice brooch, but only on coats/ jackets.

Think a brooch on a T.Shirt is a bit naff op sorry.

I like it. Go for it.

It looks good. But I don't want a to be as liking brooches because I but most of mine second hand and don't want the prices going up.

Seriously though, brooches are rightfully coming back.

DH bought me a brooch for Christmas. All my friends did this but I like it. I wear it on the lapel of a black coat and it adds a touch of interest. It's a dragonfly.

But I am styleless.

Looks nice 👍🏻

I love brooches. Very nice OP, ties your shoes to your outfit.

like a pp I do like a Nice Brooch, they are like fancy splendid badges for grown ups

BUT only on hats coats or scarves....I really do not like them on lighter fabric where they are lolling about like a bad bit of scaffolding supporting an iffy saggy old building.

So in your case I wouldn't wear one on your t shirt....but if you had a medium weight sort scarf, and have the brooch on instead of a knot then I would go with that.

Sorry a no from on when it's on a Tshirt. I like brooches on coats and woolly things

short scarf, not **sort ....blooming typos.

No, I don't like it, I'm sorry, I find brooches very old fashioned, and I don't think they belong on t shirts. Sorry. 😔

I like it!

I like brooches on coats etc but I agree with pp that the don’t look right on Tshirts, not least because they pull the material, they need to go on heavier fabric imo. I like your brooch and I like your outfit but I’m not sure that they go together

Love brooches. Great for a bit of discreet flirting.

You look great in that pic OP.

Lapsed How does a brooch facilitate flirting?

I love brooches!!
On a shoe
Scarf (kind of like a tie pin)
Handbag
Jacket lapel.
On a hair band
Belt buckle
I’m currently making a load, so I’d love them to be the next big thing. Yours looks lovely & isn’t pulling the fabric down. Go for it.

Lapsed is confusing brooches with squirty water trick flowers...get their clothes wet and strip them naked.
....there's your flirting. :o

Brooch strategically placed on bosom.

Chatting to nice chap.

Look up through eyelashes at him then sweep eyes down to brooch...make tiny adjustment to brooch positioning or lightly brush off minuscule dust particle.

You’ve just given him opportunity and permission to drop his gaze slightly below the eyes/mouth triangle whilst drawing attention to your embonpoint.

Full smile as you raise your eyes back to meet his gaze.

I think lapsedhumanist should be writing period romantic/erotic novels. I came over all unnecessary when reading her last post.

blimy lapsed..I've gone all hot [embarassed] dont think I could carry that off x
