'Vogue' brings brooches back







New York—Vogue's verdict is in: Wear jewelry big this fall and don't forget the brooch.

The September issue of the influential fashion magazine hit the newsstands recently with all 840 pages dedicated to fall clothing. The overriding theme is dress daringly, and for jewelry, wear a brooch.

"Turns out the designers have gone pin-mad for fall," Plum Sykes writes in the issue.

Even Anna Wintour plugs brooches in her editor's note: "It's a great season to dress up, even if that only means adding a bright shoe or a bold brooch," she writes.

The pins, however, need a few updates this season. To modernize them, Vogue suggests wearing them in creative clusters.

The "statement necklace" is another notable jewelry trend for fall according to the magazine. The editors declare that big necklaces with little embellished shapes and solid colors are trendy.

"What's most amazing about the 'mega-necklace' is the dramatic before-and-after effect it achieves," Vogue tells readers.

This fall, it seems one can't go too large in terms of jewelry. Vogue editors also tell readers to "show your hands—especially when they're decked out with whopping rings made with shells and milky stones."

In the photographs showcasing accessories, also featured are a white shell bangle littered with multicolored sapphires and diamonds, rose-gold cuffs with amber stones, a necklace with eclectic shapes and a pastel-colored heavy-metal watch.
