Which necklines to wear with cord necklaces?

First thing’s first, figuring out what neckline to wear with your cord necklace. 90s cord necklaces are usually wound around your neck to create a choker look, so an open neckline is absolutely the best way to highlight your new cord necklace! Wrap your cord necklace around your neck multiple times for a short choker vibe that looks perfect with an off-shoulder top, or leave the cord necklace a little longer and tie the ends in a knot over your chest in a boat-neck outfit. If you’re wearing your favourite pendant cord necklace, go for a deep v-neck neckline to really make your pendant shine! Whichever style of top or dress you go for it’s important to let your pendant cord necklace stand out in its own right, so don’t go over-complicating things with tons of other necklaces, your cord necklace deserves its very own spotlight around your neck!

Classic ways to style a cord necklace

If you love a classic style but wanna add a little 90s edge and nostalgia to your look a cord necklace is a super easy way to do it! A white top or bodysuit with high-waisted boyfriend jeans and a blazer is a great look in itself, but add a black cord necklace and you’ll instantly elevate the ensemble to new fashion heights. Meanwhile, a leather cord necklace will add an edge to a blouse and skirt combo too!

Style your cord necklace like a 90s star

The 90s were full of iconic female stars & characters, from Julia Roberts in her unforgettable romcom era to Phoebe Buffay, Rachel Green and Monica Geller - iconic FRIENDS women, to the Spice Girls, Gwen Stefani and Carrie Bradshaw, the list of iconic 90s women is endless, and the fashion inspo is just as endless! Start with a truly nostalgic 90s fit, we’re thinking: baggy jeans & baby tee, cargo pants and off-shoulder top, button-down floral printed maxi dress with sneakers or pleated mini skirts and biker boots, and adorn your neck with the unmistakably iconic 90s cord necklace. A cord necklace with a silver starfish, heart or floral pendant is the ultimate 90s inspired piece of jewellery, that’ll make you feel like the heroine of your very own 90s romcom! Complete your celebrity air of mystery with a pair of slim pitch-black oval sunglasses, a slick of coffee brown lipstick for that coffee stained look, and large tote bag for that effortlessly put-together 90s vibe.

Leather cord necklace for ultimate goth vibes

Core trends have been everywhere lately, and the gothcore aesthetic is one that’s taking the FW23 scene by storm! Inspired by the hallmarks of goth style: lace, leather, corsets and the colour black, this trend is both mysterious and feminine, dark and beautiful. Dip your toes into the goth lake by styling a black lace mesh top with a leather mini skirt and boots and tie your favourite pendant cord necklace around your neck to accessorise like a goth queen. Alternatively, a simple black maxi dress is instantly elevated by a pendant cord necklace for a perfect everyday errands outfit.

Corsage necklace - perfect for a night out

Corsage necklaces are the ultimate accessory for a night out outfit! Make a splash at the coolest rooftop bar in town in a sleek black outfit featuring slim-cut black trousers and a gilet or strapless black top with your sexiest heels and of course, finish off the look with that eye-catching corsage necklace to really pull the look together! More of a dress girl? Your corsage necklace will look equally amazing with a sheer, ruffled dress (a big trending item right there!) and knee-high leather boots. Add a stylish silver handbag and silver statement earrings as the final touches to an unforgettable, head-turning evening look!
