The New Necklace Trend Fashion Girls Are Wearing in Europe
After almost a decade of keeping my neck adorned with the most delicate necklaces, you'd have a difficult time convincing me to consider a statement style again. It wasn't until recently that my mind started opening up to the possibility, thanks to the stylish return of the cord necklace. I was particularly drawn to styles boasting bold pendants in various shapes, like hearts, swirls, shells, and more.
Over the past few months, I spotted cord necklaces on what felt like nearly every one of my favorite European fashion follows on Instagram. It was blatantly clear there was a new jewelry trend brewing, and I couldn't help but find myself entertaining the idea of wearing one as I started planning my summer wardrobe. What's great is that the necklaces work for many occasions, from casual to formal. Plus, it appeals to a variety of personal styles as well. Ahead, shop my top cord necklace picks of the moment and some outfit inspiration to get a sense of how to style the trending piece.
A baby blue pick worth throwing into the mix.
