If you do not have a real brooch but want one in your wardrobe, you can use an earring as a makeshift one. Once you have a brooch or a substitute, there are a few ways you can style it. It's common to pin it to a scarf. You can use a brooch for its original purpose — holding together a piece of clothing – by wrapping a pashmina or larger scarf around yourself and pinning it closed above your shoulder.
Additional examples of how to style scarves and brooches are shared in a video from eHow Beauty. In it, the stylist ties the scarf loosely and pins the brooch to the knot. In a variation style, she does not tie the scarf at all and instead lets it hang, the brooch connecting both halves of the scarf together over the model's torso.
Another dynamic way to style a brooch and scarf was shared on TikTok by user @silkyscarf. First, fold the scarf into a triangle and begin folding it over itself, creating a ruffle. Then, tie the ruffle with a hair elastic and wrap it around your shoulders. Tuck the other half of the scarf into the elastic and then pin the brooch through the elastic (instead of through the actual scarf's fabric).
