A fail-proof way to elevate your outfits while also capturing the breezy look of summer styling is by layering your jewelry. A perfectly placed cluster of delicate necklaces around a bare neck can complement the airy look of your warm-weather wardrobe.
While this style trend may seem simple and straightforward, there are a few rules to follow that will make it extremely easy and the perfect way to dip your toe into the layering waters.
The ABCs of Lovely Layering
- Start with a statement piece that will be the focal point of your layered look. This can be a pendant, a gem, or anything that shows off your personal style.
- The statement item should be the longest necklace you choose. Then you will add shorter ones to create visual interest and dimension.
- Mix in different chain styles – think herringbone, a patterned chain, a ball chain and more.
- Nothing says fun in the sun more than a charm piece, so add necklaces with vibrant-hued charms or beads for an exciting vibe.
- Another fun addition is something that screams summer such as seashells or pearls.
- Consider your outfit and remember that V-necks and scoop necks are better for lots of layers. A shirt with a collar may require something more subtle or delicate. Don’t overpower your outfit.
- Aim for balance and make sure that one single necklace doesn’t steal the show!
- Adding a choker to the layering brings in a contemporary feel.
The absolute final touch is confidence and capturing the carefree look of the season! Styling your outfits this way also allows you to carry around many pieces that mean a lot to you. It’s not just a pretty way to elevate your summer outfits, but you can use it to showcase your own personal style and items that are symbolic to your life.
