STYLE SWAP TUESDAYS- NECK CANDY

If you are one who gets bewildered by the mystery behind the art of layering necklaces, then look no further- continue reading as I unfold this mystery!!!

1) DON’T BE AFRAID TO MIX METALS– 

The safest approach girls adopt when layering pieces is to stack pieces in the same metal family. But if you ever feel a wee bit daring: try mixing metals. Mix gold with silver, silver with bronze, whatever looks eye pleasing- pair them together! It might take some playing around with your jewelry,  but once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed how well the metals couple. When pairing metals together, avoid the size clash- keep one piece in one metal as the focus and then work your way around this. 

2) LAYER MULTIPLE STATEMENT PIECES–

It might be intimidating to some, but the rule of thumb here would be stick to either one or two at the max statement pieces and layering it in away so that the pieces rest right close and on top of each other. Choose one color necklaces or contrasting colors- this will only get better. If you look at my pic, I’ve used two unique pieces, each individually capable of creating a statement, but the juxtaposition and placement of the tough beige necklace against the dainty tassel works. 

3) CREATE A WATERFALL EFFECT– 

This is by-far the easiest way to gain some familiarity with this necklace layering business. Layer pieces of different lengths, in metals of your choosing for that dramatic waterfall effect. Remember to choose one statement chunky piece, then add as many slimmer pieces. 

4) FOR A MORE MINIMALIST LOOK LAYER SIMPLE CHAINS –

If you have any doubts, then go for simple chains layered together look. Not only will this scream trendy but also make it look as you put a lot of effort in creating a focus. Choose one or five chains- the choice is all yours..

5) ADJUST YOUR CLOTHING/HAIR ACCORDINGLY– 

When creating a focal point in your outfit; which in this case is your neck candy- adjust your hair and clothing accordingly. With my sleek hairdo, fuss-free and collarless clothing, I’m letting the necklaces steal the spotlight. Had my outfit been a little over-the-top, I would have worn a couple of chains, and called it a day !!!

So don’t worry, have fun and create your own statement looks.
