The verdict is in: chunky necklaces are this year’s go to style for making a splash. Spotted on celebs from Olivia Attwood to Mimii Tafara, they’re a favourite accessory for fashion it-girls who love to make a statement. 

Here’s our guide to how to wear a chunky statement necklace. 

Create harmony with softer pieces 

 

Statement necklaces are at their best when contrasted with softer pieces that bring harmony to your look. You want complimentary jewellery that draws the eye to your statement necklace and create a beautiful contrast between boldness and subtlety. 

To get the look, be sure to accessorise with lightweight rings, earrings, and bracelets, and don’t be afraid to layer a few daintier necklaces over the statement piece—a minimal chain is perfect.  

  • For bracelets: finding a piece that replicates elements of your statement necklace while being significantly less bold is the MO—a fine chain bracelet often works well for this and can be the key element that’ll tie your whole look together. 

Frame with other chunky jewellery for maximum impact 

 

If you’re going for maximum impact, we also love to wear accompanying jewellery that brings a statement of its own.  

Large, chunky hoop earrings or maximalist ring stacks are great for this and help to build a strong frame around the statement necklace. Introducing chunkier bracelets or a watch can also be a great way to curate a complete look that feels as bold as it does chic. Right now, we’re loving the look you get from stacking a watch and a chain bracelet on the same wrist.
