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.
