There are no rules in fashion, least of all for jewelry! We all have a signature necklace that we love to wear, but learning how to stack necklaces is the ultimate trick to getting the most out of your jewelry box. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of layered necklace sets, and you’ll find plenty of sets curated at Cult of Sun for easy styling.
What I love about a necklace stack is that you can wear them with anything, from a white vest and jeans to a bikini at the beach or a cocktail dress at a wedding reception. Learning how to layer necklaces is a great way to incorporate a little of your personality into every outfit. I’m sharing three ways the fashion girls are putting a modern twist on the layered necklace trend.
Irregular Pearls and Chunky Chains
There’s nothing I love more than the juxtaposition of pearls and chunky chains. One of the secrets to learning how to stack necklaces is to do the unexpected. Playing with different textures and metals adds depth to your necklace stack, making it look more unique and personalized to you.
If you’re looking for your first layered necklace set, I always recommend ‘Lovina’ as the ultimate stack. You can style these three necklaces solo or mix and match them together as one of the best ways to wear pearls the modern way. It’s the perfect necklace stack to wear day-to-day or style with statement earrings for a special occasion.
Layering Gold Chains and Gemstones
Pendants and charms are the perfect way to add a pop of color and extra dimension to your layered necklace stack. If you’re a minimalist at heart, black gemstones can help you stick to a neutral color palette for a luxury aesthetic.
‘Bukit’ is one of my go-to necklace stacks to bring on vacation, as the layered gold chains complement any outfit and look effortlessly chic. You can style this necklace stack with a button-up white shirt for the office or your favorite strapless dress for date night.
Contrasting Necklace Lengths
One of the most important things to remember when you learn how to stack necklaces is that you want the pieces with different chain lengths. When your chains are different lengths, it naturally elongates your neck to give you a slimmer appearance and stops your necklaces from tangling together. Most necklace stacks will incorporate at least one choker and a longer pendant.
If you’re a fan of more understated jewelry, ‘Karma’ is a dainty necklace set with a pearl choker, gold chain, and coin pendant. It’s the perfect set to transition your closet from one season to the next and is one of the best ways to wear a pearl necklace in summer.
