BIB NECKLACE
Wear your statement necklace under the
collar of your button down top, dress
or shirt, just like a bib! If you're wearing
a light-coloured outfit, best to go with
bright colours for an added zing to your
style and if you're wearing bright colours,
tone it down with a light-coloured piece.
BOLD COLOURS
Don't be afraid to wear a neoncoloured
necklace to work. However,
the key is simplicity. Something
neon is best kept at minimal if you're
about to attend important meetings
throughout the day. Hence, why
not make a statement with just the
necklace that also complements
your outfit for the day?
MONOCHROMATIC LOOK
If you're not a fan of colours, go for
monochromatic designs that focus on one
colour! Something sparkly and monochromatic
will elevate both your mood and style. Also, it
doesn't always have to be dresses and skirts,
wear some cargo shorts with your necklace!
LAYERS AND LAYERS
Layering your neck with several
necklaces will surely give you points
in the creativity department. But,
we don't want your entire collection
of necklaces on your neck. The ideal
amount is three and preferably
lightweight pieces so that you don't
feel like you just gained 2kg.
WORK APPROPRIATE
MINIMALIST
Smaller designs with not more than
three colours would be your best
bet at your workplace. Natureinspired
designs and colours such
as blue and green will also give off
minimalist vibes.
SHAPE OF YOU
Proportion is vital. If
you're of a small build,
choose necklaces that
will not drown half your
body and if you're of a
bigger build, choose
pieces that complement
your upper body well.
Longer pieces are often
more suited on longer
upper bodies while wide
choker necklaces do
complement those with
shorter upper bodies.
DRESS DOWN
TEE DAY
Who says you can't
wear a statement
necklace with a t-shirt?
That's right. Nobody.
If you're not feeling up
to dressing up, dress
it down with a tee and
statement necklace. Our
personal favourite: a
simple white t-shirt with
a colourful necklace!
