YOUR 3-STEP GUIDE TO LAYERING NECKLACES LIKE A PRO

Accessorizing is a powerful tool that can take any look from drab to fab, blah to beautiful, and simple to stunning. 

Necklaces are the accessory that commands attention, whether chunky with a bold sparkle or casually peeking out from under your shirt collar. They draw notice to our neckline, and what better way to mesmerize onlookers than by layering multiple necklaces?  

This trend can take you from the office to a night out or just to the grocery store and then to your kid’s soccer game. It’s a staple to wear every day and can be your go-to for a special occasion. Layered necklaces are everywhere, and they’re ready for you to rock. 

Straight from our Paparazzi stylists, here are our tips to follow so you can use layering necklaces as your next accessory power move this season. 

1. Choose Dainty Necklaces 

To achieve the effortless, thrown-together vibe of this trend, choose dainty pieces. These can be delicate chains, small pendants, and even intricate necklaces that come pre-layered—more is more! Let this be the starting point for your neck mess. 

2. Start From The Top 

You’ll want to choose three to four necklaces to create the ideal layered look with chic authority. Choose pieces with varying lengths. 

You can create a cascade of layers with a short necklace high up on the neck. Or, begin stacking with mid-length necklaces to allow the look to flow into long, free-spirited layers of delicate chains, pendants, and beads.

Shorter necklaces keep the focus just below the collar. A neck mess of this length creates an everyday wearability to seamlessly blend with anything you pair with it. 

Longer necklaces, even dainty ones, add a bit of drama.

Start with your shortest necklace. The eye draws down from the top with every layer you add.  From there, choose a necklace that is slightly longer and sits just below the top layer. 

The next layer can be a little longer than the second necklace to create that cascading effect, or it can be a lot longer with a pendant to break up the “mess” and add some flair. 

Pendants are a great way to capture this trend. Pendant necklaces should be your bottom layer to sit below plain chains, beads, and smaller pendants. 

3. Find Common Themes

Once you’re on the hunt for dainty necklaces of varying lengths, you’ll want to take note of commonalities: things that connect each piece together. 

This could be colors, shapes, types, and/or styles. For example, in the photo below, the dainty brass chains of the first and third layers coordinate with the brass beads of the second layer.

Then, go bold and add a long brass beaded necklace to sit below, like the look shown at the top of the page, to push the trend to another level. 

Intricate all-gold or all-silver chain necklaces are commonly worn. However, don’t be afraid to mix metals. As long as the metals and chains have a common theme or accent, they’ll layer together with ease. 

This could be starting with a short high-sheen silver chain, adding on a shiny gold chain below it, and then finishing the look with a longer silver or gold chain that has a mixed-metal pendant to tie all of the necklaces together. 

As long as all of the necklaces have a common trait, stack to your heart’s content!
