How To Wearing A Beaded Necklace

Wear a single long strand.

There are many ways to wear a beaded necklace, but one of the most popular is a single long strand. A long strand can be worn with casual outfits like jeans and t-shirts or paired with more formal attire like dresses or suits.

To wear a beaded necklace as a single strand simply put it on over your head without fastening it at the back and let it hang down your back. If you want to soften up this look, wrap the ends of the necklace around each other once or twice and secure them with an elastic band so that they don’t dangle too much.

Wear a single short strand.

While a long strand is great for formal occasions, you can also wear a single strand of beads as well. This can be worn at the collarbone and is a bit more casual than wearing an entire long strand. It also means that you won’t have to worry about your necklace getting caught on something (though you still should be careful).

This type of necklace can be worn under jackets and blazers if they are worn open. The bead will sit right at the collarbone, showcasing its beauty while still being subtle enough not to draw too much attention away from your outfit. If you’re feeling extra fancy, consider adding some pearls or another type of small accent stone in between each chain link to add some extra pizzazz!

Layer single strands of varying lengths.

Choose necklaces that vary in length.
Layer single strands of varying lengths. This is a quick and easy way to add depth and interest to your look without taking too much time or effort. For example, you could choose one long strand, one medium length strand, and one short strand from the same collection (see photo below). Or you could layer three different collections together so that each necklace has its own unique style!

Layer multiple strands of the same length or varying lengths.

You can layer multiple strands of the same length or varying lengths. This is a great way to accessorize and make your outfit look complete. Try layering 1-3 necklaces together, depending on how long you want them to be. Mix up the materials and textures of your necklaces as well as the lengths, so they don’t all look exactly alike.

Wear a choker.

The choker is a beautiful and versatile piece that can be worn with a variety of clothing styles. This necklace looks great when paired with:

Crop tops, band tees and tank tops
Linen shirts or button downs

Add character to your necklaces by mixing materials and colors.

Mixing colors and materials is an easy way to add character to your jewelry. You can achieve this with monochromatic, analogous, complementary, and triadic color schemes.

In a monochromatic scheme, you use one color for your entire outfit or accessories. This will give you a cohesive look without standing out too much from the crowd (but still making it known that you have style). An analogous scheme uses two or three adjacent colors from the same scale (for example: blue-green/turquoise/aquamarine), while a complementary scheme uses colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel (red/green). A triadic scheme uses colors at equal distances apart on an equilateral triangle formed by dividing opposite sides of the spectrum into three equal segments; blue green yellow orange red purple indigo — these are great for adding fun pops of flair!

Consider the size of your beads when choosing the length of necklace to wear.

The length of a beaded necklace is important because it can greatly affect how you want to wear it. If you have large beads, then you’ll want to wear a longer necklace, but if the beads are small, then they may look better on a shorter necklace. It’s also possible to go with either option—large beads on a short chain or small ones on a long one—but this is really up to what makes sense for your style and wardrobe.

Regardless of whether you’re wearing big or small beads, there will almost always be an occasion where having more than one strand would be helpful for making various outfits work together. For example: if I was going out dancing in my favorite sequined dress from last year (which happens pretty often), I’d probably need some kind of sparkle around my neckline as well as at least one bold piece somewhere else; however, without any other options available except for those same two strands that were already on hand…well…it wouldn’t exactly be ideal!

Show off a statement pendant by wearing a shorter necklace that lets it hang freely.

Use a necklace extender and make sure you put it on the right way. You want to attach it to your neckline first so that when you hook your clasp, you can do so without having to remove both pieces of jewelry.
The length of the necklace will depend on the size of the pendant; use this rule of thumb: Your pendant should hit right at your collarbone or slightly below it if the chain is long enough (and if you’re feeling extra bold, you can even let it hang down into your cleavage!).

Remember that large beads will be more noticeable than small ones, especially on short necklaces.

Remember that large beads will be more noticeable than small ones, especially on short necklaces. If you want to make a statement, wear a short necklace with big beads. If you want to wear a short necklace but don’t want to make a statement, wear smaller beads.

The next time you want to pull off the beaded look, keep these tips in mind!

Wear multiple necklaces at the same time.
Focus on the size of the beads.
Choose the right length of necklace for your outfit.
Mix different materials that go well together (e.g., diamonds and white pearls). Beaded jewelry can also add some edge to an otherwise simple outfit with its boldness, so feel free to play around with it! One thing that many people tend to overlook is that wearing a choker is a great way to make your neckline look fuller without having too much going on at once (i.e., if there were more than two necklaces around your neck).
