It is undeniable - layering necklaces is HOT! Here are a few ways to mix and match your favorite necklaces to add drama and excitement to any and every outfit!
But Wait...Why Layer Necklaces?
Layering necklaces isn’t just a fashion trend—it’s a way to express your unique style. It’s like creating a story with each piece you wear! Whether you’re going for a boho chic vibe with chunky gemstone pendants and tassels, or aiming for that clean girl aesthetic with plain gold chains, layered necklaces can instantly elevate your look.
How to Layer Like a Pro
First things first...start with a base necklace. This could be a simple chain like this or a delicate beaded strand. Choose something that sits close to your neck and serves as the foundation for your layers.
Next, add your middle layer. This could be a slightly longer necklace with a different texture or design. Think charms, pearls, or even a personalized pendant. This layer adds depth and visual interest to your ensemble!
Bonus points for choosing a different chain style if wearing two chain necklaces (like mixing a box chain with a herringbone, etc).
Now, for the third layer—this is where you can get creative! Opt for a longer necklace that complements the first two layers but adds its own unique touch. It could be a statement piece with bold elements or something more understated that ties everything together. I like to add my rainbow dyed jade necklace as my bold layer!
Mixing Materials and Textures
Don’t be afraid to mix metals and textures. Jasper & Elm's hypoallergenic jewelry comes in a variety of materials like gold-filled, sterling silver, and gemstone beads of various sizes/shapes. Mixing these elements adds dimension and visual interest.
Tips for Styling
When layering necklaces, consider the neckline of your outfit. V-neck tops pair well with layered necklaces that create a cascading effect, while crew necks allow for shorter layers to shine.
Play around with different lengths and see what works best with your style and the occasion.
Not ready to layer? No problem! A good general rule is to pair a single shorter necklace with a lower neckline and a long single necklace with a higher neckline!
