How to style statement necklaces:


Statement necklaces are all about balance. Here are some tips to ensure your bold piece takes centre stage without overwhelming your look.

Know your neckline, the right neckline can make or break your statement necklace look. Opt for V-necks, scoop necks, or boat necks that allow the necklace to be the star.

When wearing a statement necklace, let it be the focal point. Opt for simpler clothing in solid colours or muted tones. Avoid competing patterns or overly busy accessories.

Consider length and proportion. The length of your statement necklace should complement your body type and outfit. Shorter necklaces work well with crewneck, while longer pieces can add verticality to shorter torsos.

Choose a piece that complements your outfit's colour palette or adds a vibrant pop of colour. Don't be afraid to mix metals.
