Latelita’s New Brooch Collection: Bold Statement Pieces for Every Outfit

Brooches are having a well-deserved revival, stepping out of the shadows of vintage dressing and becoming one of the most exciting accessories of the moment. Not the dainty little pins you may remember from years gone by, but bold, expressive statement pieces that stand confidently on lapels, coats, scarves, hats, and bags. Latelita’s new collection of twenty-five brooches embraces exactly that spirit. Crafted in gold-plated and sterling silver with a range of motifs – florals, celestial shapes, abstract lines, creatures, and classic silhouettes – this collection offers something for every style personality.

What makes brooches so charming is their versatility. They’re easy to wear, suit every age group, and instantly elevate an outfit with personality and flair. For older customers who enjoy polished accessories with a touch of drama, these brooches hit the perfect middle ground: refined without being quiet, expressive without ever feeling overpowering. They allow you to dress simply while still making a statement.

Below, you’ll find a full styling guide on how to get the most out of Latelita’s newest brooches – whether you’re dressing up, dressing down, or reinventing the pieces you already own.

If you’re new to brooches, the lapel is the perfect starting point. It’s elegant, familiar, and always looks deliberate. Whether you're wearing a tailored blazer, a soft cardigan, or a structured coat, a brooch on the lapel adds instant sophistication.

For tailored jackets, geometric or Art Deco-inspired pieces add sharpness, while floral and nature-inspired designs soften the silhouette. If you prefer something playful, anything from a whimsical animal to a cosmic star motif adds lightness to a more formal outfit.

To create a flattering line, place the brooch slightly higher on the lapel so it draws the eye upwards.

Outerwear is the ultimate brooch canvas. The thicker the fabric, the more dramatic you can go. A large gold-plated brooch brightens deep winter colours like navy, grey, black, and olive. Silver styles bring a crisp shine to lighter coats.                                       

On a long coat, try placing the brooch just above the pocket or higher up near the shoulder seam for a modern, editorial feel. On double-breasted coats, brooches look striking positioned symmetrically on one side.                                           

Nature-themed pieces feel especially seasonally appropriate on winter and autumn coats, adding depth without overwhelming the look.

Cardigans and knitwear are some of the most enjoyable ways to wear brooches because the texture works beautifully with metal and stones. A small brooch at the top button of a cardigan acts almost like a decorative clasp. Larger pieces can be worn slightly off-centre on a jumper for a soft, artistic finish.

For older customers looking for comfort with elegance, this is the easiest and most natural pairing. A brooch on knitwear feels warm, approachable, and wearable from morning to evening.                                                                                                         

Scarves and brooches go hand in hand. A brooch can secure a wrap without knots, or sit neatly on the fold of a wool or silk scarf as a decorative focal point.

• On patterned scarves: choose a clean metal design.

• On plain scarves: choose a textured or stone-set brooch to add interest.

This styling trick works across all seasons and looks particularly chic for dinners, theatre trips, or relaxed occasions when you want to look put-together with zero effort.                                                                                                              

Pinning a brooch onto a hat adds an unexpected, quietly confident flourish. It works for berets, felt fedoras, cloche hats, and even knitted beanies.

Curved, sweeping designs complement the shape of a hat beautifully. Gold adds warmth and nostalgia, while silver brings a contemporary edge.

It’s subtle, but people always notice.                                                                                         

Using brooches to decorate handbags is a modern styling favourite. Whether on a leather tote, a canvas shopper, or a structured evening bag, a brooch turns an everyday accessory into something more personal.

Try:

• One statement brooch on the corner of a bag

• A cluster of three on a canvas tote

• A sleek silver brooch on the strap of a crossbody

It’s also a great option if you prefer not to pin brooches onto delicate clothing.                                                                                       

A brooch can transform a simple dress into something special. Try pinning one:

• At the waist to mimic a belt detail

• On the shoulder for a Grecian feel

• At the centre of a neckline instead of a pendant

A sparkling brooch instantly adds occasion-ready polish, whether you're attending a wedding, dinner, or celebration. For those who prefer understated jewellery, a single brooch gives elegance without needing layered necklaces or bold earrings.                                                                                         

Brooches are wonderfully inclusive. They suit all genders and all dressing styles.

On menswear and gender-neutral looks, brooches pair beautifully with:

• Suit lapels

• Coat pockets

• Denim jackets

• Knit beanies

• Shirt collars

Minimalist shapes, stars, abstract lines, or polished metal pieces work particularly well in this space. The effect is modern, confident, and creative.                                                                               

Brooches are far more versatile than many people realise. You can pin them onto:

• Headbands or hair clips

• Gloves (especially at the wrist)

• Belts

• Shoes

• Evening shawls

A brooch in the hair looks especially striking for weddings, dinners, or events – simply pin it onto a sleek bun or half-up style for a jewelled finish.                                                               

Spring:

Lean into florals, leaves, butterflies, and softer colours. Pin a brooch onto a lightweight coat or pastel cardigan for a fresh seasonal look.

Summer:

Use brooches on straw hats, woven bags, linen shirts, and beach wraps. Bright gemstone colours feel lively and holiday-ready.

Autumn:

Choose warm golds, rich jewel tones, and leaf motifs. Brooches sit beautifully on trench coats, knitted scarves, and thick cardigans.

Winter:

Bring out the sparkle. Starbursts, snowflake-style shapes, and bold silhouettes shine on wool coats, evening outfits, and partywear.

Latelita’s new brooch collection proves that the simplest accessory can completely transform an outfit. These pieces are expressive, elegant, imaginative, and incredibly wearable for everyday polish or special occasions.

With twenty-five designs spanning florals, celestial motifs, animals, abstract shapes, and classic silhouettes – each crafted in gold-plated or sterling silver – there’s a brooch for every style and every moment.

A brooch is more than decoration. It’s a tiny burst of personality. And with these new designs, you’ll find endless ways to make your wardrobe feel refreshed, modern, and uniquely you.
