Fashion Friday #1 - How To Style Statement Necklaces

One of the biggest fashion trends this past season is the craze for statement necklaces. From small trinket designs to ones that are full of colour, gems and patterns. Although they make an outfit look red carpet worthy, it can be difficult in achieving this. This is because it can be hard to select which necklace looks better with a certain type of clothing. Therefore for my first Fashion Friday, I intend to give you hints and tips in choosing the best necklace. I have ensured that all my outfits cover a casual everyday look as well as a going out evening look, as not only does this you let you show of you glamorous necklace but to wear it multiple ways and make the most out of your spending.  First this is an overview of the few necklaces I am going to cover. I have decided to chose necklaces which are toned down and less over the top as I am focusing on conveying more of a beginners guide into statement necklaces.

This is an example of an original statement necklace. It is very versatile as they come in all different sizes and patterns meaning they can be worn throughout the year.  I got this during the autumn season last year, when the tribal and aztec trend was popular. Although this exact one is no longer on the site, many shops such as Etsy and Topshop are likely to stock a similar style. This necklace is easy to wear for both occasions. It can be paired with a peplum top or t-shirt to create a chilled daytime look, or primarily with a chiffon shirt, making it that the triangles peep out under the collar. Overall this necklace is an easy throw on necklace that makes an outfit complete. 

This necklace is similar to the one above from its tribal inspired colours and style. Statement necklaces like this are really good to create a bold look to your outfit. It's simple design is great if you are first trying out statement necklaces. The advantage of these style of necklaces are again effortless to put together as they go with most clothing, such as t-shirt, peplums, tunics, and shirts. This particular necklace also comes in a light pink and gold contrast as well as white, which overall would be great for spring and summer. 

This necklace is my all time favourite necklace. I wear it alot with plain tops and sweatshirts and it effortlessly finishes of the outfit. I would recommend to avoid wearing this necklace with a pattern as it would take away the attraction on the design. I have worn it alot recently, as the floral designs and daisy patterns are basically the representations of spring. This type of necklace would be great if you have already worn a few statement necklaces as it steps away from the simple designs and more into the broader designs.

Lastly this necklace is another example if you decide to go towards a broader design but not over the top. The statement is basically a much smaller version to those strong vibrant ones, making it the ideal necklace to go for. It's emerald green colour also links with this, as it steps out from the comfort zone of wearing dark colours. This necklace is unique from its snake like chain, which makes it different and stand out from other necklaces. This would give the confidence later on in wearing the large statement ones.



Overall I hope this guide as given you some sort of idea of what style and design to go for. I will also do an updated post on statement necklaces, giving the latest trends on designs, as well as the best and worst of them.
