Things are still way too expensive. While the impending change of season is usually greeted with jubilation on the fashion front, the cost of updating a wardrobe these days is significant. There are secret weapons, however, in the fight for autumn outfit supremacy. We're talking about brooches.

Long associated with older ladies who lunch decked out in Chanel, brooches beg to be let out of such narrow confines. They've actually been a runway favorite of late. In those cases, the quirkier, the better. Coperni, for example, affixed a silver OK hand signal to a crewneck sweater creating instant ruching.

Thinking outside the box is definitely in order. Feel free to attach your brooch of choice anywhere on your ensemble. From the chest to the sleeve and even on a pair of jeans.

Logo pins are another way to approach the trend. They allow you to convert a $10 shirt into a designer masterpiece for a fraction of the price. True, the fashion house ones cost more than other options, but they're still better bets than shelling out for a new designer dress or blazer.

Scroll down to see the best brooches that'll instantly update any autumn-related item in your closet.
