why long necklaces work for any style
long necklaces are all about versatility. they’re perfect for layering, adding dimension to your outfit, and instantly elevating a simple look. whether you’re wearing a crisp white blouse or a flowy maxi dress, a long necklace adds that extra flair. plus, with their ability to elongate the neckline, they add an effortlessly chic touch to your overall style.
for minimalists, thin, delicate chains with simple pendants are ideal, creating a subtle yet polished look. for those who love to mix and match, bolder, statement necklaces can be layered over each other for a more daring style. the beauty of long necklaces is that they work with any wardrobe and give you endless possibilities to play with textures and lengths.
layering like a pro
one of the best ways to embrace the long necklace trend is through layering. start with a delicate piece like the magdalene choker, then add a longer, more intricate necklace such as the bia necklace for a mix of textures. playing with different lengths creates depth, while mixing metals and colors keeps the look fresh and modern.
how to make the trend work for you
while paris fashion week has set the tone for long necklaces, it’s easy to adapt the look for everyday wear. the key is to balance proportions—if you’re going for a long, chunky chain, pair it with a simple outfit to let the necklace take center stage. alternatively, layer finer necklaces with dainty rings or bracelets to create a cohesive, balanced look.
a few key pieces from CINCO’s collection, like the baidu necklace or chéri necklace, give you endless styling options without overwhelming your outfit.
