Master the trend with your unique style

It’s hard to ignore the layered necklace trend when style icons like Gigi Hadid and Rihanna masterfully layered their necklaces to create the ultimate ensemble. It’s essential to know how to stack necklaces and how to layer chains properly - so you can elevate any outfit. Here’s everything you need to know about layering your necklaces:

Your Shortest Necklace Should Be Your Foundation

According to In Style Magazine, your shortest necklace should act as the foundation of your layered look. There’s no rule about how many layers you can rock at once, but you should always base your look on your shortest necklace. You could opt to layer several necklaces of varying lengths to have a full look, or you can pair a short chain with a longer one to create a dramatic look.

One of the best foundational pieces you can have in your jewelry collection is a few staple chokers. Chokers will be the shortest necklace in your layered look by nature, so it’s essential to be mindful when choosing your foundation piece.

Layer by Length

The most common method to layering necklaces is to layer them by length. You can choose a few pieces that vary in length (but are in the same color palette) before layering them accordingly. If you want to throw in a pop of color somewhere - go for it!

Layer by Thickness

According to Teen Vogue, you could opt to layer your necklaces by thickness, which is the trendy choice at the moment. Layering thick pieces that are similar in length creates a bold look that catches all the attention.

There are various ways to layer your necklaces - but the ultimate deciding factor comes down to the outfit you’re wearing that day. Layer some thick pieces together for a bold look, or go for a more minimalist look by adding a few thin necklaces that vary in thickness and length. It’s important to remember that a bolder outfit generally doesn’t need bold accessories; simplistic outfits look best with bold jewelry. Happy accessorizing!
