The layered necklace trend started back in 2020 and seems it is here to stay. From layers and layers of gold chains to cute pendants and one of a kind pearl pieces, layered necklace look has become the go to way to style your outfit. Dressing down with your clothes, yet dressing up with your accessories has definitely been a huge trend, both on Instagram and real life. While it may look super simple to put together, layering necklaces is actually a work of art and requires a bit of skills. To help you master the art of layering, we got a few tips and tricks listed below:
Step 1: Choose Your Base Layer
The first thing is to build up your foundation – choose a choker necklace that will serve as your base layer. Everyone prefers a certain necklace length, so feel free to experiment a few different lengths until you find the one. We love having a good chain necklace as a base, for example our Cuban Chain Necklace or Drama Necklace are often used as a first layer to build a cool layering combo. Alternatively, why not use a classy pearl strand as a base layer and layer it with a couple of contrasting pieces.
Step 2: Pick a Contrasting Layer
Once you have your foundation down, it’s time to pick a 2nd layer - a contrasting piece to add a twist to your look. It could be either another chain necklace ( mixing pearls and chains is always the favourite way to add contemporary feel to your outfit) or a one of a kind piece to draw all eyes to your neck stack.
STEP 3: Anchor Your Look with a Statement Piece
Finish off the look with a striking pendant necklace – this one is going to be your longest layer. This could be a baroque pearl necklace like Floating Pearl Necklace or Pearl Obsession Necklace or a necklace with a gemstone, like Malachite Crush Necklace or Black Onyx Necklace. A statement piece with a large natural shell on pendant would be another great choice, especially for the summer looks
