How to Wear Long Necklaces: 5 Trendy Ways to Keep in Mind

The necklace is, without a doubt, one type of jewellery that’s capable of revolutionising a look. It’s an accessory that immediately catches your attention and carries the outfit. A necklace can be contemporary and minimal, a sign of simple elegance, or it can take on the role of a statement piece elaborate and full of gemstones and decorations. And it can be long or short, with pendant charms, straight or multi-strand.

There’s the perfect necklace for every outfit chosen based on the effect you want to create, chosen according to your clothes’ neckline, on your hairstyle, and if other jewellery is present. Here we’ve decided to concentrate on one specific type of necklace: long, which are the most versatile, and can be worn in lots of different ways in order to always create a new and different look.

Let’s take a peek at five fashion trends for wearing long necklaces.

 #1 Long Pendant Necklaces for Casual Outfits

Long pendant necklaces are timeless accessories that never go out of style. Many women opt for larger pendants in the shape of symbols, hearts, feathers, or letters to adorn their jewellery, making them perfect for a variety of occasions.

For example, a long pendant necklace goes perfectly with sporty looks. The iconic “sneakers, t-shirt and jeans” look gets more interesting when you add an ironic charm, especially when the charm has a special meaning. A necklace with two heart-shaped pendants to engrave is always a great idea when you're looking for a charm that adds a touch of romance. And what better way to do it than with the Made For You necklace? Whether you're gifting it to someone special or treating yourself, the two customizable pendants make it uniquely yours. Romantic, yes, and always stylish.

For those who love unique necklaces, Nomination’s Carismatica Collection is a standout. With white or coloured Cubic Zirconia set in yellow gold or silver, these pieces add the perfect touch of sparkle to elevate any outfit.

#2 A Long Necklace with Pearls for a Retro Evening

Pearls have an old-world charm which makes them highly sought after by many women. And we don’t just mean the classic short strand of pearls: a long necklace with pearls is an accessory with a bit of a vintage flavour and should be worn on evenings out by the woman who wants a retro look.

A black tube dress, a dress with a boat neck, or a strapless: dresses which recall 1920’s fashion go together perfectly with long pearl necklaces and immediately recreate the Charleston flapper look.

#3 Multi-Strand Necklaces for Dresses and Elegant Evenings Out

Another type of long necklace you can wear on special evenings is the multi-strand: several different chains draped over an asymmetric one shoulder top creates a bold look to wear to a fun party with friends.

The long multi-strand necklace is a true statement piece and pairs best with simple, monotone dresses with minimal details, especially when the necklace features charms, appliqués, or sparkling gemstones. 

This necklace can instantly transform into a rock-inspired accessory when worn with the bolder looks in your wardrobe. For a personalised and stylish touch, try layering or stacking your jewellery with different Nomination necklaces, like those from the SeiMia Collection, made from 925 silver and adorned with heart-shaped pendants in various colours. It’s the perfect way to create a unique, personalised look.

 #4 Long Yellow Gold Necklace to Pair with Dreamy Dresses

The long necklace is an accessory that doesn’t have to be worn only in the evening or with elegant outfits: when you choose one with a simple design and delicate colours, you’ve got jewellery that’s perfect for light, airy daytime dresses. Why not go with a metal in warm tones?

The long yellow gold necklace with white Cubic Zirconia is the perfect match for soft dresses with a classic round neckline, ideal for showing off on any occasion throughout the day.

#5 Long Silver Necklaces: Perfect for Any Outfit and Occasion

A necklace with natural stones is the perfect accessory to pair with various outfits and for different occasions. Opt for a two-tone choker, featuring and purple stones, like the one from the Symbiosi collection, to elevate a round-neck t-shirt for a casual look, or even a buttoned-up, masculine-cut shirt for a touch of rock-chic style.

Another option is to wear a medium-length, statement necklace over the shirt—a bold choice that exudes strength, especially when paired with a men’s cut shirt or blouse. For example, the 925 Sterling Silver Domina necklace, featuring a square pendant studded with a pavé of white stones, makes a striking impression.

There’s more to fashionable necklaces than just long necklaces. One of today’s major trends involves necklaces with your initials or your name, which you can create alongside sparkling pendants from the SeiMia Collection: letters, symbols, coloured gemstones and delicate chains can be used to create a personalised necklace that best represents you. Or, choose necklaces that can be engraved with your own symbol, drawing, or letter: simply design your “message,” take a photo, upload it to our website and in just a few days, you'll be able to show off your personalised necklace that's uniquely yours.
