Effortless Necklace Layering Tricks

The days of sacrificing wearing one necklace for another is no longer a thing. Nowadays, we can tastefully pile on the jewelry while elegantly side-stepping the Mr. T references - with a few key parameters in mind. Here’s a few of our favorite guidelines for effortless layering.

Vary Your Necklace Lengths

This may be the most important thing to do - make your layering efforts impactful by mixing and matching necklaces of different lengths. Varying the length of your necklaces also helps your accessories appear curated rather than chaotic.

Pro Tip: It can be frustrating when necklaces that are similar in length start to jumble and knot. To avoid this aggravating occurrence, hook the backs of the two necklaces to alternating, different ends to create an infinity-like chain. This way, when you pull and lengthen one, you can shorten the other and vice versa, establishing some variety.

Call for Attention With a Pop of Color

Just as any colorful element of your outfit is sure to stand out, so is a pendant with a small pop of color. It doesn’t need to be crazy - earth tones or gem hues will do. However if your style is a little more playful, try adding a vibrant tassel or more lively-colored stone.

Placing color along your neckline can cause makeup or other colorful elements of your outfit to stand out as well.

Out-of-the-Box Body Chains

For a layered look that’s a little more daring and sultry, or for a special occasion, add a body chain to your jewelry assortment. Body chains can elevate any outfit. Not only do they add some gleam to any mundane ensemble, but they also help emphasize the directional flow of a fit.

A simple body chain is one of the easiest ways to style your swimwear during the summer - but it isn’t limited to beachwear. You can pair your dainty body chain with your favorite tank or even a button-up, plus a pendant necklace or two simple chains to spice up your appearance. Plus - depending on what you’re wearing, you can wear a body chain over or UNDER your clothing for a little intrigue…

Lengthen Your Look With A Lariat

Another different way to add levels to your layered jewelry is by sporting a lariat necklace. A lariat necklace almost gives the illusion of layered necklaces itself, as it meets in the middle, then offers a dangling excess chain.

For layered looks, lariat necklaces are best paired with delicate chokers. The best part about this type of necklace is that you can layer it for casual wear or don it for a fancier occasion. It’s also great for various necklines.

Thoughtful layering allows you to add flair to any look and show off all your favorite glimmering adornments at once.
