Tips & Tricks for Tangle-Free Layers
There’s nothing quite as chic as a perfectly layered necklace look—but let’s be real: keeping those layers in line can feel like a full-time job.
If you’ve ever spent more time untangling chains than actually wearing them, we’ve got you covered! These Style Dots-approved tips and tricks will have your layers sitting pretty (and tangle-free) all day long.
1. Start with Different Lengths
The first golden rule of layering: vary your lengths. Choose necklaces that differ by at least two inches. This natural separation helps keep chains from overlapping and bunching up. Try combining a 16” choker with an 18” pendant and a 20”+ longer statement piece for a balanced and stylish cascade.
2. Mix Chain Styles
Textures matter! Layering different chain styles—like a dainty box chain with a chunkier rolo or paperclip chain—not only adds dimension, but also reduces the chances of tangles. When chains are too similar, they tend to twist together more easily.
3. Use a Magnetic Multi-Strand Clasp
4. Don’t Overload
5. Give Necklaces Their Space
Layer your jewelry after you’ve put on your top, adjusted your collar, or styled your scarf. You want each piece to sit where it naturally falls—no fighting for real estate. And avoid necklaces with heavy pendants that can tug other chains out of place.
Layering doesn’t have to be high maintenance. With a little planning—and the help of Style Dots accessories like the Silver Magnetic Trio Clasp—you’ll be rocking effortlessly layered looks that stay picture-perfect all day.
