The art of layering is well known in the field of fashion, but this original proposal continues to experiment and innovate to be applied to the stylistic ensemble, reflecting the personality of each one.

Do you hesitate between putting on one necklace or another? Pick them all! Find out more about layering necklaces below and learn how to wear it with style.

What is layering?

The term layering comes from the English "layer", which means "capa" in Spanish. Applied to the world of fashion, this word refers to the fact of superimposing several layers of clothing, accessories or jewelry.

A possible point of origin for this very original and versatile trend could be the aesthetics of the 90s, with the fashion of superimposing different clothes and even jewelry to create very striking and interesting looks among the new generations of the moment.

This technique, although it may seem chaotic, requires a certain coherence so that the different elements do not break the harmony of the whole.

The layering of necklaces

Necklace layering is probably the most popular option for all those people who discover this trend and want to incorporate it into their looks. It consists of combining necklaces of different lengths and widths, letting them fall gracefully down the neckline. This technique greatly stylizes the neck, although you have to pay attention to which necklaces will be used for layering, since a bad choice can hinder the entire style.

Let your creativity fly and let your instinct choose the pieces to combine, the result can be truly surprising.

Layering on other jewelry

Although the layering of necklaces is one of the most popular trends, jewelry layering can also be applied to other pieces, such as bracelets or rings. The main idea is to achieve that same harmonious set with all the elements that make up the whole. This gives the option to innovate and take risks with styles that may be more daring, but that will undoubtedly completely change the look (managing to adapt to each individual style).

How to combine several jewels

Although it may seem too difficult to achieve, jewelry layering is characterized by taking risks and being guided by personal preferences. Still, there are a number of tricks to make this technique successful.

The three trick

If you're not sure how many jewelry elements to mix in your layering, 3 is the magic number. In this way, there will not be an excess of jewels and you will subtly combine the pieces.

Minimalist style

It's easier to combine minimalist and simple designs, so these can be a good starting point. As you experiment and progress with the layering, you will be able to introduce elements of larger size, width or with eye-catching details.

Wear jewelry of different sizes

Pieces of equal size can be used, but it is true that applying this technique is easier if jewels of different sizes are used. You can order them to show a certain visual harmony, as in the case of necklaces, starting with a choker and ending with a longer choker.

At this point it is also important that there is a certain space between each piece, so that they do not visually compete with each other and look crowded or that the physical features are shortened.

Use only one material

Choose gold, silver or rose gold and keep all your jewelry in that tone, this way they will be easier to combine with each other if you are starting to try this technique. Once mastered, you can take risks and mix different materials in the set and even introduce pieces with different colors, which gives a youthful and fresh look.

Let your imagination fly and join this trend that will add a different and original touch to each of your looks!
