As you’re building your spring and summer wardrobe, it’s essential you don’t forget to update your accessory collection. A chic, chain-link necklace or bracelet is the ideal complement to your newest warm-weather ensemble.
Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing paved the way with his finely-woven chain necklaces and prominent linked cuffs in his spring/summer 2014 collection. The emphasis was on a conspicuously large design, with both silver and gold pieces displayed. Yves St. Laurent and Chanel runway collections were also augmented with chunky, architectural, woven chain necklaces. One such piece was a bold, fine chain-link choker that graced Heidi Slimane’s tuxedo look for evening at the Saint Laurent spring/summer show. Chanel’s Cruise 2014 collection included layered chunky chain and diamond-encrusted necklaces adorning Karl Lagerfeld’s breezy ensembles. Rumor has it that style icon Coco Chanel also used this layering technique, so why shouldn’t we?
This edgy aesthetic gets a feminine makeover for spring and summer—and this season, the bolder, the better. Whether you choose fine or costume, make sure to invest in one glamorous chain-link piece to polish and perfect your favorite summer look.
