Put Down the Choker—This Is the Necklace Trend Everyone, Everywhere, Is Wearing
You better be ready.

There's no denying the impact that jewelry can have. While I tend to favor minimalistic pieces to tie a look together subtly, I'm equally aware of how a bold accessory can command just as much, if not more, attention. When it comes to statement pieces worth noting this season, one trend stands out above the rest: pendant necklaces.
But not just any pendants—this moment belongs to the long, dramatic styles. Think 30-inch chains with pendants that rest just above the navel, exuding a distinctly modern, bohemian sophistication.
The long pendant necklace, once a hallmark of '90s fashion, has made a striking comeback, reimagined as a symbol of boho-chic elegance. The fall/winter 2025 collections from designers such as Chloé, Valentino, Zimmermann, and Ralph Lauren all leaned into this revival and showcased statement-length necklaces adorned with oversize charms, intricate detailing, and artful layers that channel an elevated sense of wanderlust.
Beyond the runway, one standout piece driving this trend forward is Juju Vera's Petra Shell Necklace. Designed by Julia "Juju" Ferentinos, this necklace has captivated both street style stars and social media tastemakers. It is consistently selling out and has become a go-to accessory among fashion's inner circle. Established brands like Julietta, Chan Luu, and Jennifer Behr have also adopted the trend, releasing renditions that feature natural gemstones, pearls, and tassels. Keep scrolling to explore how pendant necklaces were styled in the recent runway collections and shop a curated selection to help you stay ahead of the trend curve.
On the Runway
Style Notes: In Valentino's F/W 25 collection, Alessandro Michele introduced a captivating array of pendant necklaces that seamlessly blended opulence with eccentricity, reflecting his maximalist aesthetic.
Style Notes: Leading the long-pendant-necklace trend is none other than the bohemian fashion focused brand Chloé. Throughout its F/W 25 collection, pendant necklaces were the finishing touches to silk slips, lace maxi dresses, and ruffled blouses paired with jeans.
Style Notes: In Louis Vuitton's F/W 25 collection, subtle references to the 1980s were apparent, making it clear why pendant necklaces were showcased. Whether layered over a dress or blazer, these designs featured clochette key holders and mini clocks.
Style Notes: The pendant necklaces at Ralph Lauren's latest show were the perfect finishing touches to the juxtaposed looks, tying together rugged Americana with refined elegance in a way that felt both intentional and effortlessly chic.
Style Notes: Johanna Ortiz is a designer who consistently embraces the bohemian spirit in her collections. In her recent lineup, she showcased vibrant patterns and textures. However, that did not prevent her from incorporating bold jewelry, such as long, chunky pendant necklaces. This demonstrates that these designs don't have to be the only pieces that make a statement.
