LAYERING 101: 3 Simple Steps to Creating the Perfect Layered Look
Layering is one of the most effective ways to express your personal style and show off your favourite treasures;
but it can be intimidating to know where to start.
The best way to approach it is not to overthink it too much, and follow a few simple steps:
SIMPLIFIED STEP #1
Start with the shortest necklace first. Choose a classic, or minimal piece at the base of the neck. Keep in mind that layers should make up one cohesive look instead of competing with too many details. A simple piece should add detail and texture without becoming too "fussy". This can be as simple as a classic chain.
SIMPLIFIED STEP #2
If you're layering 3 necklaces together, you can get a little more playful with your second choice, as this will be the feature design. The "frame" created by the top and bottom necklaces often draw eyes to the centre-- so make it count! The centre piece is a great place to add a necklace with a pendant.
SIMPLIFIED STEP #3
The final choice in your 3-layer look! Add something at the end that creates a "V" finish to the entire ensemble. Lariat styles are a great way to add more dimension and create a flattering shape which elongates the neck.

BONUS TIP:
Before putting on chain necklaces, run your fingers along the chain with the clasp undone, to remove any twists in the links. This will help keep your necklaces from tangling!
Don't forget:
Style tips are great for a little guidance but you are the only one with your unique style so remember to wear what you love; even if it means breaking a few fashion rules along the way:)
