The saying shirt has become an indispensable part of the public image.
Most recently it even appeared among the great designers who used their exclusive creations as attractive advertising space for political statements in order to publicize photos of the catwalk in social media.
High street giants actually have saying shirts with printed life wisdom in their range every season, which teenagers can be sure to get excited about in order to express their confused feelings.
Now it may be that one or the other lockdown victim currently has a special need to make his thoughts heard.
Just not in the form of saying shirts, please.
In the vast majority of cases, the aesthetics suffer, almost always the seriousness, but the good style guarantees.
Or you can resort to an alternative that is particularly subtle: Brooches send subtle messages without being intrusive.
They are particularly often characterized by a figurative representation.
Animals have always been a popular motif, but symbols such as feathers, safety pins, stars or keys are also pinned at chest height.
We remember Lady Brenda Hale, Chairwoman of the UK Supreme Court, who in the summer of 2019 declared Boris Johnson's parliamentary hiatus to be illegal.
For the occasion, she had attached a spider brooch - which would go down in history as the piece of jewelry that ate Brexit.
Even the Queen often knew how to use brooches as a discreet means of communication.
An antiquated accessory is suitable for selfies

Now it is well known that both women are representatives of a rather older generation who move in the public spotlight and have to observe a certain protocol.
In this case, brooches are of course particularly suitable.
At first glance, however, the somewhat antiquated accessory does not seem to really match the screeching behavior of a young Internet community.
The brooch recently needed a twist so that it arouses desires again and can be put in the right selfie light.
And that's exactly why it has recently been moving - from the chest to the shoulder, from there into the hair or to the upper ear, then back to the sleeve and from there it's not far to the bag.
The motifs are also more contemporary and sophisticated: At the Spanish chain store Uterqüe, a rhinestone virus seems to be crawling along the upper body.
Resting on the shoulder, it could represent the burden that everyone has to bear at the moment.
Sophie Buhai places her nose cast in gold next to the original.
There, but also on the lapel of the blazer, everything from "I am getting stinky here" to "you nose!"
In the political Corona context, it is certainly not an uninteresting opportunity to emphasize your words in talk shows or press conferences in a subtly ironic way.

Sometimes the brooch also replaces the embroidered logo emblem, which is quite practical and also inexpensive because the piece of jewelry can be moved and re-pinned at will.
Logo brooches can be found in abundance on digital platforms for vintage fashion, offered by fashion lovers who dug them out of grandmother's jewelry box.
But they are also being reissued more and more frequently.
