This jewelry sometimes needs to be clarified for fashionistas - not everyone knows what dress clips are and how to wear them correctly. We've all seen brooches and ear clips, but dress clips... Why are they, where are they, how are they?

Dress clip in a modern wardrobe

Dress clips came to us from the Art Deco era. Looking at photographs of film stars of the first half of the 20th century, you can see that dress clips were top-rated at that time. Nowadays, these jewelry are pretty rarely found on sale. However, they look very sophisticated and modern. A properly selected dress clip or a pair of them can become the favorite decoration of a modern fashionista.

Let's figure it out

In different sources, you can find other names for clothing clips. It can be "dress-clips", "dress clip", "dressclip" or "double clips", and in Russian, they are called "brooch-clip", "brooch-clip", "duet" or simply "dress-clip" ". All these names indicate the same type of jewelry - peculiar brooches held on the fabric with clips. Their design is reminiscent of the usual ear clips, but the dress clips compress the material they are held on much more strongly than the clips compress the earlobes.

In addition, there are also clips for fur, “fur clips,” which are attached with two needles to a fur collar or headdress.

The main difference between dress clips and brooches is precisely this clip. The clip may seem inconvenient to some, but it has a massive advantage over a brooch pin - a clip designed from the 70s and 80s does not spoil clothes at all, so such dress clips can be worn on almost any fabric and allow you to take them off and put them on according to your mood, and at the same time not be afraid that numerous punctures will damage your favorite thing. However, be careful with clamps from earlier years - they often have spikes, but at the same time, their fastening is more reliable.

What types of dress clips are there?

Dress clips come in both pairs and singles. Duo clips are usually worn on the collar or symmetrically attached to the neckline of clothing or on the sleeves. However, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain prefers to fasten her jewelry duo on one side.

Single dress clips are usually larger and brighter than pairs. Because the hook of the clips is much more loyal to the fabric than the pin of a brooch, dress clips can be larger and more massive.

How to wear them?

Dress clips can be worn in completely different ways. The classic option, which has already been described, is to attach jewelry or a pair of them to the collar or neckline of the dress. Clips look different than brooches because they are attached to the edge of clothing. They are often triangular in shape, like arrows, which indicate the most attractive place in the figure of their owner. In addition, using a clip, you can drape the fabric and change the usual shape of your clothing.

Because the clip does not damage the fabric, wearing it has endless options. For example, it can be attached to a scarf or handbag, and paired clips can be an exciting addition to leather gloves or even shoes! Also, it can be placed at the bottom of the V-neck, as if continuing it.

Dress clips can be attached to a chain or ribbon, turning them into a beautiful pendant. They can also decorate a hair band, bracelet, or hat.

A famous stylist and model, Olivia Palermo has been a devoted fan of jewelry such as dress clips for many years. She loves to wear different types of jewelry herself, mostly pairing them with sweaters and blouses.
