Jewelry has always been an easy way to reinvent or to add excitement to an outfit. Usually, wearing an understated necklace is the way to go. However, this season bigger is better. There is nothing more interesting or stunning than an eye catching statement necklace. Elaborate statement necklaces have been seen everywhere from haute couture to street style, and there is no limit to the different styles available. With hard and soft textures, bright colours and unique jewels, there is a statement necklace that will work for every occasion. Also, they no longer need to be worn exclusively at night. Pairing a fabulous necklace with the most basic of outfits (such as jeans and a tee) is not only acceptable for daytime, but is a welcome change from the usual. If wearing large jewelry isn’t typically your style, just keep all other accessories to a minimum leaving your necklace as the standout piece. When it comes to necklaces this season, bigger is definitely better.
