The chicest jewelry trend of spring 2026 can be found in your grandmother’s jewelry box: the brooch. My most beloved piece was gifted to me by my own grandmother when I was very little. It is a two-tone sterling silver pin depicting a dachshund. Ever since then, I’ve taken an interest in collecting unique and eye-catching pins. As luck would have it, this dated trend is up for a revival.

As seen on spring/summer runways from Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel to Miguel Castro Freitas’s Mugler, the “dated” accessory is making a comeback. Jonathan Anderson’s haute couture collection for Dior S/S 26 rivals the bouquets of a florist shop. Blooming florals, architectural pinings, and animal-themed brooches are among the leading trends.

Off the runway, fashion people have taken to the spring 2026 trend, using it both practically and aesthetically. Fastening it to hold a sweater draped over the shoulder or ornately decorating the lapel of a blazer or as a calling card to the style set. After all, this “dated” jewelry trend is for those in the know.
