How to Layer Necklaces for the Ultimate Stacked Look

Fashion trends come and go, but the style of stacked necklaces has maintained its popularity over the years. For those who are wondering exactly how to layer their necklaces for this trendy style, we have all the tips you'll need to stack your chains perfectly.

Necklace Layering 101

Necklace layering is a style of wearing two or more necklaces together in varying colors, metals, thicknesses, textures, and lengths. To get the ultimate stacked look, its best to begin putting on the shortest necklace first, then working your way to longer necklaces.

Mix and Match 

Sometimes figuring out what goes together is a matter of trial and error, so don't be afraid to get creative by mixing and matching different chain styles and metals until you achieve the look you were hoping to get. As you fiddle to get the perfect look, consider combining any of the following:

Colors and Metals: Contrary to popular opinion, mixing colors and metals can add just the right amount of pizzazz to any outfit; making an outfit even more sensational.

Thicknesses: Mixing thin, dainty necklaces with thicker chains not only creates a contemporary look, but it also helps to reduce tangling between the various chains.

Textures: Add a touch of personalization by incorporating different chain textures such as cable, rope, or paperclip chains.

Lengths: The key to building the stacked look is to layer the necklaces with different lengths. By using different length necklaces, each chain stands out on its own as one falls on top of the next.

Getting Started

If you're unsure of where to begin to achieve the stacked look, here are some popular styles you can take advantage of:

Name necklace: It's always a great idea to add a touch of personalization by stacking a customized name necklace (your name, nickname, or the name of a loved one).

Initial necklace: Another way of adding personalization to an outfit with a dainty approach is by incorporating an initial necklace.

Paperclip necklace: This offers a trendy necklace texture style to an outfit, making it the perfect statement piece.

Adjustable necklace: A staple piece every woman should have is an adjustable necklace. Chains with multiple clasp options or strings will give you the flexibility to arrange exactly where the necklace falls on your neckline or collarbone. For example, our sliding initial necklace can be adjusted from a 20 inch necklace to a 14 inch necklace.

As mentioned earlier, layering necklaces isn't a one-size fits all approach. It's all about finding what works for you and what matches your style. So, play around with pieces in your collection (or soon to be collection) and just have fun with it!
