While everyone was drooling over dainty jewelry last year, fashion trends have started to shift towards bold accessories. For one, we’ve already spotted quite a number of chunky pendant necklaces in the fall runway shows of Alexander McQueen, Schiaparelli, and other big fashion houses. Even beyond the world of designer fashion, local style stars have also been jumping on the bandwagon and styling the ‘90s staple in their own sartorial glory.

10 Cool-Girl Ways to Style Chunky Necklaces
1. You can never go wrong with pairing a statement necklace with a simple strapless top. As we always say, good styling is just all about balance!

2. Wearing a chunky pendant is an easy way to shake up a monochromatic outfit. For example, Ida Anduyan accessorizes her all-black OOTD with a bulky silver necklace.

3. Putting her own spin on the blokette trend, Gela Muñoz pairs her dainty heart necklaces with a bright Adidas top with a denim maxi skirt.

4. Ever the cool girl, Angelique Manto styles her black vest with matching leather boots and bermuda shorts. Her edgy outfit wouldn’t be complete without her Bottega Veneta arm candy, hoop earrings, and most importantly, her eye-catching pendant necklace.

5. Bianca Umali's metallic dress is the perfect combination to her silver cuffs and Y2K-inspired necklace. So chic!

6. FYI, you don’t have to show a lot of skin to embrace your sultry side. Take style cues from Rhea Bue, who wears a choker necklace with an off-shoulder top and a figure-hugging floor-length skirt.

7. Even while on vacation, Camille Co doesn’t miss the chance to stack jewelry. Here, she layers a pearl necklace over a gold medallion necklace to elevate her Moeva maillot.

8. Not a fan of low-cut tops? Statement necklaces can go well with halter neck tops, just like Bianca Gan’s casual travel outfit demonstrates.

9. While celebrating her birthday, Ciara Gan brings out the floral print of her dainty frock with a pretty gemstone necklace. A must-try for soft girls!
