This years fashion runways and street styles have proven that layering necklaces is one trend that the fashion world just can’t let go of.

Whether you are playing it safe with a simple layered piece worn with a pared-down blouse or going all-out with layers upon layers for an evening event, allow necklaces to be the spotlight of your outfit. New to the game? Here is our guide to layering necklaces: 

Personal jewellery

Start with the jewellery you already have and layer by length. Begin with your shortest chain and work up to the longest. Don’t shy away from charms and gems. They are your friends and layering necklaces can be fun! 

Mix it up

Once you are more comfortable with layering necklaces, step it up to the next level by mix and matching various styles. Try piling three unexpected necklaces together for one ultimate look. For example, start with a delicate choker or tighter necklace and add in some cute gems. Why not finish the look with a longer chain of pearls? Even the most random, unexpected combinations can look on-trend!

Shine

Once you have the basics down, you are ready to play with weights, textures and materials. Be bold, make a statement and mix together a selection of silver and gold necklaces, comprised of stones, chain links and sparkles. What’s more, you will find that mixing weights between thinner and thicker chains will prevent tangling. Pair this look with some statement earrings to tie the entire look together.

If you’ve been inspired to add a new piece to your jewellery collection, look no further. Here is a roundup of the top layering necklaces from luxury brands:
