Statement Necklaces Are Making A Classier Comeback, And Here Are A Few Ways For You To Style Them
When you hear the term “statement necklace,” you may cringe and think back to a massive, chunky necklace you wore with a collared shirt or peplum top in 2012.
While statement necklaces might have been a bit obnoxious 10 years ago, they’re making a classier comeback, with celebrities hitting the red carpet wearing big, metallic, or bejeweled statement necklaces.
If you want to start reintroducing statement necklaces to your wardrobe, here are a few ways to style them.
Pair it with a blazer
Something about the luscious v-neck of a closed blazer makes it an excellent clothing item to pair with a beautiful statement necklace.
If you want to class up and add elegance to your usual going-out look, wear a camisole or low-cut shirt under a closed blazer and add a lovely statement necklace. You’ll look classy and fun all at the same time.
Layer it with other necklaces
Sometimes, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with a statement necklace because although you have a larger, chunkier necklace around your neck, your look may still feel like it’s missing something.
You can pair and layer your statement necklace with simpler chains and necklaces to add extra flare and bling to your look.

Wear it with neutral colors
I’m probably stating the obvious when I saw that a big, statement necklace paired with a brightly-colored or patterned outfit might be too much.
But think about it – if your outfit is already making a statement, do you need to add a statement necklace? Keep your statement necklaces reserved to more neutral colors to let them shine properly.
Pair it with an off-shouldered top or dress
When you’re wearing a pretty, delicate, off-shoulder top or dress, it’s a great opportunity to wear a statement necklace.
They look extremely elegant and stand out over bare skin, so instead of covering up with a different top or a scarf, cover up with a big, beautiful necklace!
Layer it over a turtleneck
Since we’ve already reached the middle of the winter season, many of us are getting tired of our plain turtlenecks.
If you want to switch things up, put a statement necklace over your turtleneck. It may feel weird to put a necklace on over fabric, but it’s an awesome way to take your simple turtleneck to the next level.
With all these style options in mind, do you think you’ll start wearing more statement necklaces in 2024?
