Necklaces and earrings undoubtedly represent one of the most varied accessories we can find when it comes to our style. Other pieces such as bracelets and rings give us enormous freedom when choosing designs and combining them to create looks that make our outfits more visible.
Combining your necklaces is a matter of creativity and can be a way to express yourself. Among so many favorable combinations, it is easy to create unique compositions that make the perfect match which will take your style to the next level.
Today, I leave you with some tips that you can use as a guide when designing your layered necklaces.
1. Consider the top you choose to wear
Accessories come last, or at least it is necessary when deciding on a composition that contrasts with the clothes you plan to wear.
A blouse, t-shirt, bodysuit, sweater, evening dress, crop top, or blouse have different characteristics to consider when picking the perfect selection of necklaces.
Both the type of neckline and its depth, as well as the level of the neck or class of garment, are indicators that will help guide you to the style of the necklaces you want to wear.
For example, it is favorable to combine a lariat or body chain necklace with a princess cut necklace for V-necklines. This will highlight the desirable area and give it depth.
In opposite cases, wear a turtleneck with a choker and one of your simplest statement necklaces, preferably if it has a striking earring.
2.-- Contrast with different materials, textures, colors, and sizes.
Once you have found your outfit and have chosen the type of necklaces that match it, it is time to try different models.
Jewelry, cords, chains, or rhinestones, are made in different metals and materials that vary in weight, length, color, textures, and details.
Whether you prefer a more boho style or you are looking for a more of a defined look for a special occasion, I suggest you combine similar materials and textures with contrasting tones.
You can also merge textures and styles with each other. Among so much variety, you may find unique combinations.
3. -- Merge new and old parts
Surely you have a lot of clothes that you no longer wear or are forgotten in the corner of your closet.
This also happens with necklaces and accessories, making this the perfect occasion to revive those pieces you no longer use or perhaps you had forgotten about.
Combining some of those pieces that were a trend at the time with one of your most recent necklaces will surely give your image originality; they would give a second life to these garments that they thought had passed their time.
4. -- Respect the spaces… Or not.
Respecting the distance between each layer of your composition is important because it brings symmetry and order to the final result.
Most aesthetic combinations are indeed made up of three to five simple necklaces, often made of similar metals and shades of different lengths. This is done in order to not to break the harmony between one and the other. Bar necklaces are perfect for outlining boundaries between the shortest and the longest spaces.
This is an observation rather than a rule. You can combine necklaces of similar lengths and different textures, especially chokers, which look great when they are close, regardless of material and design.
5. Finish off with other accessories
How to guide the cake, you can finish unifying your style by matching your necklaces and other accessories.
Rings, bracelets, and earrings can also be combined in many ways with each other to match your necklaces which will create a polished look to your outfit.
Pretend that the materials and designs you use correctly align with the composition of your necklaces and garments. Don't overdue it because the purpose here is to finish ensuring your outfit with small, delicate, and original details.
Finally, remember that anything goes. There are no specific rules when trying new looks. It will only helped you to avoid overdoing accessories that break the harmony and cross the line from flashy to quirky.
