Statement necklaces come in all shapes, sizes and styles and are the perfect way to amp up any outfit. Almost all necklines will work with one, but I’d advise you to avoid scoop and v-necks. These skin-showing necklines stray from the statement and keep the focus on your shirt or dress.

Here’s how to wear a statement necklace: 

• Dress up a basic tee with a colorful statement necklace. For a cool and casual look for brunch with your girlfriends, wear distressed jeans, a half-tucked tee, chunky heels and a bold bauble necklace.
• Accessorize a classic oxford or chambray shirt by wearing the collar buttoned and layer a statement necklace underneath for a stylish work look that’s anything but stuffy.
• Transition your look from desk to date by adding a statement necklace.  Ditch the blazer, wear a jeweled necklace with a flirty tank and trade your flats for strappy heels to finish off the transition. It’s sure to blow your date away.
