Pulling off a bib necklace can be tough if you are wearing a flashy outfit or too many other accessories. Make the bib necklace the centerpiece of your outfit however, and impress everyone.
2. Multi-Layered Chains
Layering different lengths necklaces is always trendy. However, what’s even better than a DIY layer is a single neckl piece that comes layered as one.
Sport a simple, thinly veiled chain layer, or opt for a more funky piece with chains, baubles, and jewels. Whatever style you are going for, there is a multi-layered chain necklace to make you feel cool, sexy, or beautiful.
3. Choker
Ahh the choker. Brings you back to your early teens years doesn’t it? Well, you’d be surprised to know that even as an adult, chokers can be wildly fashionable if paired with the right outfit.

Sitting snugly around your neck, a choker is designed to be sleek and cool. They often come in neutral tones such as black, silver, or gold, and have very little embellishment. In fact, this simplicity adds to the glamour when you pair your favorite strapless dress with a stunning choker such as the one by Saint Laurent.
4. Pendants
Pendant necklaces are the key to adding a steamy look to even a casual outfit. Dangling down from a delicate gold or silver chain, pendants add a bold statement to any outfit. From your button up blouse to your favorite v-neck weekend tee, a pendant necklace is sure to catch anyone’s eye.
5. Multi-Colored String Necklaces
