When I first wrote this post*, statement necklaces were on the necks of celebs, bloggers, and fashionable people everywhere. But sometime in 2018, large necklaces began disappearing in favor of thin delicate chains with a more bohemian or dainty vibe. I don’t know about yall, but um, the statement necklace is still relevant in 2019 okurrr!

The right statement necklace can change the look of an outfit: Either dressing it up, or dressing it down and giving a bit of edge. Necklaces are my favorite accessories by far, and I am really into layered necklaces or big colorful statement pieces. I’m going to share a few of my favorites below, as well as some styling ideas! Let’s get started!
Pair Layered Necklaces With V-Neck or Button Down Tops
I like to wear long layered necklaces with button down blouses to add a little bit of visual interest and edge. I’m modest, so I don’t unbutton too much, but just enough for the necklace to be shown! Baublebar is my go to for long layered necklaces, but I’m linking a few more here that you can shop!

Dress Up T-Shirts with Chunky, Ornate Pieces
I love the contrast of a snug fitting tee with a bulky glitzy statement necklace: it takes your look right into Socialite Status. One company that nails this look perfectly is a boutique called Sassy Queen. They sell tees and corresponding statement necklaces, which means you won’t need a stylist! This is one of my favorite ways to elevate a casual look in minutes.
Add a Little Modesty To Deep V-Cut Tops with a Bib Statement Necklace
Statement necklaces can help to camouflage cleavage under low v-cut shirts. When a cami isn’t possible (say, for a formal outfit), I use chunky bib-like necklaces to cover more chest area! In the photo below, the black panel that is artfully covering my cleavage is a black beaded and feathered necklace! I got tons of comments on the piece, and no one was any wiser that this necklace was pulling double duty!

Use Chunky Collar Necklaces To Add Dimension
In my opinion, chunky necklaces that sit right around the collarbone area are the most versatile of the statement necklaces. They really enhance scoop neck tops and blouses, off the shoulder cuts, and strapless styles. Because of the short length, I recommend exploring bold *pop* colors that will stand out, or more bedazzled styles.

Thank you for these much needed styling tips! I also believe that accessories are the perfect way to complete the look without overdoing it. You can glam up your look with simple studs or even a necklace, depending on the event. I prefer completing my look with a trendy handbag or a clutch. I usually buy online accessories and even handbags from Hot Mod Style, as they are known for wholesale prices on high quality and reliable products.
