This Formerly Dated Trend Is Back With a Vengeance for Summer
I already know that this will ruffle feathers among the "statement necklaces were always in" subset, but I think it's reasonable to acknowledge that 99% of fashion items go through countless ebbs and flows in popularity, and the accessory did dip for a while—only to return as of late. Another way to put it is that statement necklaces were around but weren't necessarily at the top of our trend guides and wish lists.
Now, of course, there's not a chic summer outfit in my screenshots or Saved folder that doesn't happen to feature a fun pendant, choker, collar, or strand of chunky beads, and honestly, I'm into it. I've started shopping around and, as always, have come back with quite the bounty. Curious to see what I've come across? Simply keep scrolling for all 29 of my favorite statement necklaces for the season ahead.
Viral for a reason.
Since charms are basically my entire personality right now, this is right up my alley.
What's better than an Amazon find?
I love anything this brand makes.
This one is so pretty on.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
