While some women can’t walk out the door without applying their mascara or putting on a watch – my everyday wardrobe staple is a statement necklace. It instantly takes a look to the next level and adds some personalized style.
Since statement necklaces are noticeable, it’s important to find ways to add variety in how you wear them to keep your wardrobe looking fresh. There are so many options available today from extremely affordable to investment pieces – the key is to have a selection that works together.
Olivia Necklace, $115 CAD, Lauren Elan
Western Glam Dagger Necklace, $15.80 CAD, Forever 21
A great starting point is something flat that looks great on its own or layered with another necklace on top. The Olivia Necklace handmade by Lauren Elan is my pick. Try layering a sparkly, bulky necklace on top like the Western Glam Dagger Necklace from Forever 21. It’s important to mix shapes when layering – find two different cuts that complement each other.
Kate Spade Give it a Swirl Triple Strand Statement Necklace, $117.38 CAD, Shopbop
Rhinestone Necklace, $49.90 CAD, ZARA
A layered statement necklace is a cost-effective way to make an impact – having a black one is practical and can be useful when looking for a way to make an outfit dressier. These Kate Spade and ZARA necklaces are two great options.
Santa Monica Blue Stone Statement Necklace, $155 CAD, Banana Republic
Finally, having a statement necklace that adds a pop of colour is key. Layer colour onto a pattern or combine it with basics like a white collar button-up or a cotton tee. I like this necklace from Banana Republic.
