10 UNEXPECTED WAYS TO WEAR A BIB NECKLACE

From glittering crystals to bright beads and luxe gemstones, bib necklaces are the go-to accessory to wake up neutral outfits and little black dresses. But that’s the tip of the iceberg of what that fashion powerhouses can do. These are ten of our favorite unexpected ways to wear bib necklaces.

1. Get wild with animal prints: A leopard or cheetah print top makes a statement all by itself, but it gets even better with a statement necklace. Try a solid-color bib necklace in cool hue such as mint or turquoise over your favorite safari-inspired blouse. Complete your outfit with neutral shades and simple silhouettes.

2. Dress up a tee: Who says a graphic tee can’t be glam? Pair a soft, comfy graphic tee featuring an edgy design with an oversized, sparkly necklace. The combination creates a casual chic vibe that is a must-have for every fashionista.

3. Layer necklaces: Why limit yourself to one fabulous bib necklace? Create one-of-a-kind looks by teaming two over a basic top. Select a short crystal necklace to stack over a slightly longer colorful piece. Let the two overlap slightly to create the look of a single statement.

4. Bring color toward your face: Print pants and bold skirts are the hottest looks this season. With a solid, neutral top they are the perfect grab-and-go outfits. But, don’t restrain all the interest to the bottom. Repeat a color from the print in a bib necklace to draw the eye up towards your face.

5. Mix bright shades: Spring and summer is the time for fearless fashionistas to pull out hot hues. Coral, fuchsia, and orange all let you stand out in a crowd. But, don’t think you have to shy away from statement jewelry when your clothing is loud. Add an extra pop of color to a bright outfit by adding an orange necklace to a fuchsia top, a purple bib to a blue dress or yellow jewelry to a tangerine outfit.

6. Embrace nautical style: Navy and white nautical stripes are a must-have look this season, especially when paired with white denim and brown leather. To prevent the look from resembling a sailor costume, add a sassy bib necklace in a bright shade or twinkling crystals.

7. Add life to denim: Neon colors have time traveled from the 1980s to today’s runways and are perfect for adding interest to denim. Let a bib necklace in a hot hue peek out from a chambray top.

8. Polish distressed denim: Ripped and torn boyfriend jeans are the ultimate in casual wear. Give them an instant upgrade by adding a colorful bib necklace and echo the shade in sassy heels.

9. Turn a button-up into a fashion statement: A classic oxford might be a work wear staple but it can also be a bit boring. Try button the top all the way to the neck and tuck a bib necklace under the color.

10. Create a new neckline: Though a bib necklace is perfect for filling in an open neckline, it can also work over a neck-hugging top. Layer a bold statement necklace over a high neck to create the look of a jeweled neckline.
