Autumn is right around the corner. I can practically smell the pumpkin spice lattes and hear the theme tune of Gilmore Girls.  As we get ready to say ‘au revoir’ to summer and welcome in the cosiness of autumn, it’s time to start thinking of how to transition your closet. If you ask me, you only need one accessory to take your closet from summer to autumn – chunky necklaces.

They’re an underappreciate staple in every capsule wardrobe and beloved by fashion girls everywhere. In this post, I’m sharing three chunky gold necklaces that you should wear on repeat this autumn.

Statement Gold Necklace

What I love about chunky necklaces is that they can take a low-key outfit, like blue wash denim jeans and a white tank, and suddenly make it look expensive. No other accessory makes you look as instantly put together.  

The ‘Naya Chunky Chain Necklaceis one of my staples with its mismatching links, and the perfect option if you want to jump on the layered necklace trend. This chain is lightweight enough to wear all day, but looks like a heavy metal, perfect for adding a little edge to any outfit.

Chunky Pearl Necklace

It’s no secret that I think everyone needs at least one pearl necklace in their jewelry box. At Cult of Sun, we love to put a contemporary twist on the classic pearl necklace, including styling chunky baroque pearls in irregular shapes with statement gold chains.

 The ‘Pearl Obsession Necklace’ is constantly in my rotation for easy day-to-night styling with a high shine finish that is effortlessly chic. You can wear it solo or style it with other chunky necklaces to make a statement with a classic button-up shirt.

A Modern Take on the Pearl Choker

Most of the chunky necklaces I wear feature pearls, and for good reason. Going for an oversized silhouette is an easy way to make pearls more wearable and less intimidating. A pearl choker is classic, but this style has an edgy feel, sitting at the perfect length for wearing with an oversized t-shirt or a chunky sweater.  

The ‘Pearl Carabiner Necklace’ is in my weekly rotation, with the carabiner-inspired clasp being an instant conversation starter. This isn’t your grandmother’s pearl necklace with the modern silhouette giving the chain a fashion-forward feel. Looking for more styling advice?

Chunky necklaces are an underrated staple and an easy way to elevate your everyday style. Wear your chunky gold necklaces solo or layer them together with dainty pendants and chains to make the trend your own. Whatever your autumn plans include, whether it’s a late vacation or pumpkin carving, do it in style with a Cult of Sun chunky necklace.
