1. Showcase a single statement piece with a blouse and blazer in complementing colors. Button the blouse up to the collar and pair it with a fitted blazer, so that the necklace is framed your outfit and tying it all together.

2. Try mixing and matching different shapes and symbols for a look that is totally unique. Tip: Using the same type of metal makes pairing styles easier. Pair this look with an undone button-up with a moto jacket for an overall edgy vibe.

3. Stack thick chains in mixed metals to give your preppy sweater and collared shirt combo and edge.

5. A sparkling statement necklace will look elegant and cool next to zippers with brassy hardware and a buttoned to the collar top (especially if that top is made of leather, like this one).

6. A velvet turtleneck and brocade blazer might seem like a staid combo, but add a crystal and spike studded necklace to the mix and your outfit will be immediately up to date.

7. These aren’t your grandmother’s pearls. Try a necklace that mixes elements like pearls, rhinestones, and studs for a look that is as versatile as it is fun.

8. Are you more of an understated kind of girl? Worry not. When mixed together at different lengths, thin chains and tiny charms can make a serious style statement.

9. Chokers are having a major moment, but not in that “Clueless” meets “The Craft”, kind of way, so don’t panic. Stack layers of gold chokers for a look that will make any sweater look polished and dressed up.

10. Have you found a statement necklace that is so bright and beautiful you want it to take center stage? Wear an all-black outfit that is full of texture to make that necklace really pop.
