Necklace Layering Guide for Every Style

Layered necklaces refer to when someone wears two or more necklaces at once. People layer necklaces to create their own statement pieces or to express their style.

When layering necklaces, layer according to length. Start with your base necklace. This is usually your shortest necklace. Then choose which necklace to layer next based on length.

Each necklace should be a different length so that they don’t tangle. They should also have a similar style or theme to ensure a balanced design.

Most people layer two or three necklaces. When choosing which necklaces to layer, always select different chain lengths. You can start by sorting your necklaces by length. Organize your necklaces by short, medium, and long. This way, you can easily mix and match necklaces according to length to create numerous layered necklace variations.

Keep in mind that the lengths provided below will vary based on your height, body type, and neck width. If the measurements don’t match for you, organize and choose your necklaces based on the guidelines for where they should fall.
