How to Wear a Statement Necklace like Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo loves statement necklaces.
Even though this trend was far more popular last year, you can still wear one in new, fresh ways. Here are 5 ways to wear a statement necklace
.
Wear African-inspired necklaces with bright whites.
An ethnic look doesn’t have to be a head-to-toe moment. Pair bright multi colored collars with simple white summer dresses. Let the necklace be the center of attention with minimal hair and makeup as well.
When it comes to sparkle, more is more.
Layer small rhinestone necklaces or go for gaudy collars with sparkle dresses. It’s not too much- it’s really not! If you choose to wear a bracelet or ring with this look, make sure all your jewelry is similar in stone and metal.
Let a large collar necklace peek out beneath a collared shirt.
Whether you’re wearing a collared blouse to work or with a pair of denim cutoffs, try layering it with a bold necklace. There's already a lot going on at the neckline, so style your hair off your face or in an updo for this one.
Let’s face it, gold chains go with everything.
A gold link wreath necklace can add a little sass to a basic black dress or a graphic tee and jeans. Search for a vintage one on Etsy or Ebay to get a real Cleopatra look going on.
Don’t let a print bully you into going necklace-less.
Complement prints, brocades, and other textured fabrics with a bold necklace. Keep the look chunky with a few stacked bangles or a cluster of rings.
