  • Here Are 3 Style Tips to Follow to Master the Art of LayeringFollow the Rule of 3

If it’s your first time attempting the layering trend, start by following the rule of three. Keep it simple and begin by stacking just three basic chain necklaces, and you’re guaranteed to nail this trend in a clean and sophisticated way. Once you start getting the hang of it, you can then attempt to incorporate bolder pieces into the mix and make more adventurous combinations.


  • Work With Necklaces of Varying Lengths

Next, the best way to achieve a layered look is to work with necklaces of varying lengths. This will ensure your necklaces don’t get tangled up and give you a messy look. Moreover, it will allow all your necklaces to stand out as statement pieces. For example, you could opt for a short gold chain and pair it with two longer pendant necklaces featuring a pearl or diamond finish for a trendy yet elegant combination.


  • Stay True to Your Style

Finally, to nail this trend, it’s best to stay true to your style and not to overthink it. You can mix metals, but if you’re more into silver, stick to that. If you’d rather wear gold, then go for it. You don’t have to run out to buy more jewelry to nail this look either. Work with pieces you already own and you’ll be rocking the layered necklace trend all season long in no time!

 

Tricks to Make Layering Necklaces Easy

Layering necklaces does not come with a style guide, but instead comes with a sparkling freedom of choice and styling as one wants. But here are some tips and tricks to make layering easy for you:

  • Choose Different Necklace Lengths:

Start with a shorter neckpiece and then choose the longer ones. Different lengths reduce the possibility of overlapping and tangling while also giving an elongated look. Space out your neckpieces so that each one is visible, doesn’t get lost in the layers, or gets tangled.


  • Try out Different Textures and Styles:

Mix different chain types and give details by adding pendants, charms, or beaded necklaces to create visual interest and dimension. Mix and match dainty necklaces with chunkier chains can prevent tangling and add a unique contrast. Finding the right balance is the key to creating the perfect layers that suit your style and occasion
