Jewellery has been a part of every woman’s wardrobe around the globe for ages. Despite many regional cultural differences, jewellery stands to be a common accessory that has been used when it comes to lifting up a woman’s beauty.
Though jewellery is a common attribute, trends and fashion around accessorising change from time to time around the globe. Especially these days when social media has become a common tool to interpret and follow these latest trends.
The array of jewellery is rapidly changing, where we can see a lot of fashion trends coming back like low-rise jeans, corset tops, etc., maximalist jewellery has also made a comeback from the 1980’s. One of the major trends revolving around maximalism is the rise of oversized necklaces. In this blog, we are going to share our opinions on how you can hop on this trend and incorporate statement necklaces into your style.
Why Statement Necklaces are making a comeback?
In recent years, we have seen a rise to minimal dainty neck pieces, starting from sleek chains to pendant necklaces. Though minimal jewellery has been in trend for the past 4 to 5 years now, this year, due to rapidly changing social media trends, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, etc. have pushed maximalist jewellery, especially oversized necklaces, lately. This sudden surge is because of the following reasons.
- Expression of Personal Identity: Oversized jewellery like necklaces helps people to stand out and express their own personality. Boldness, confidence, etc. are some of the personality traits that can be expressed through oversized necklaces.
- Diverse Interpretations: One looking for statement necklaces can see various interpretations of statement necklaces in diverse religions and traditions. From tribal jewellery neck pieces to traditional wedding designs, from gold statement necklaces to contemporary designs, there are many designs an individual can wear that suit their personal style.
- Pop Culture/Bollywood Influence: Celebrity style has been followed by fashion enthusiasts since ages, especially when it comes to Indian people. Bollywood plays an important role when it comes to trends. We have spotted many celebs like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, etc. wearing statement necklaces in both their traditional (especially during the grand Ambani wedding) and casual outfits.
How you can style Statement Necklaces?
We know, oversized necklaces can be challenging to style at first, but with these tips, you can definitely incorporate these statement pieces into your day-to-day style:
- Basic Outfits: If you are new to bold necklaces, we suggest styling these pieces with a simple outfit first. A basic white t-shirt with a light wash jeans or skirt or a simple black bodycon dress can be instantly elevated with these necklaces without putting much effort in.
- Proportion is the key: Be proportionate with your accessories, i.e., avoid wearing any kind of heavy jewellery like big earrings, bangles, etc. with your necklaces. Try to make your necklace the main focus without making any fuss.
- Neckline Knowledge: Wider necklines like off-shoulder, scoop neck, strapless, etc. or closed necklines like turtlenecks usually complement statement necklaces very well. Try to avoid medium-length necklines.
- Indian Wear: Try to incorporate heavy chokers and tribal necklaces with your traditional outfits. Statement jewellery goes very well with Indian wear. You can also try layering different lengths of necklaces as per your taste.
Where to wear these Necklaces?
- Casual Day-Out: Try wearing thread jewellery or boho kutch-inspired neckpieces to give a bold twist to your simple look.
- Formal Events: Incorporate Kundan chokers or silver necklaces to showcase the rich heritage through your Indian outfits like sarees, kurtas, etc.
- At work: If you are a fashionable corporate woman, you can style statement necklaces with your blazers, shirts, etc. to feel confident and make a powerful impression.
