Making a statement: London Fashion Week’s ultimate accessory

Five days of pure fashion, ranging from dresses from Vivienne Westwood Red Label, everyday wear from Topshop Unique, killer coats from Burberry, to our favourite fashion component at William May, jewellery accessories, it’s safe to say that London Fashion Week 2015 has been a roaring success.

As the fashion extravaganza winds down for yet another year, it’s time to reflect on the highlights. For us, it’s no surprise that statement necklaces stole the spotlight on the runway.

With bigger and bolder looks surfacing each year, it’s time for necklaces to become the key piece of your ensemble. Designers such as Betsy Johnson and Anna Sui have been intertwining chunky, over-the-top statement necklaces into their designs.

 

But it’s not just designers incorporating this new fashion piece into their wardrobes; models, fashion bloggers, and the viewing public have also been spotted flaunting statement necklaces and creating an edginess to simple looks.

These necklaces are exciting, new and daring, and what’s more, this trend is something that everyone can embrace and mould into their own look. Statement necklaces are a perfect way to add a burst of glamour, colour and richness to any outfit. They’re ideal for recycling outfits whilst creating a new vibe!

Vibrant colours are vital for this autumn’s look, and doing this with accessories, such as statement necklaces, is ideal, as you can give your existing wardrobe a new lease of life.

Chunky chains are a perfect way to incorporate statement necklaces into your look, for a day out shopping, a romantic meal or night on the cocktails; a chain is an elegant yet bold statement to enhance your outfit. The beauty of these statement pieces lies in their flexibility. You can add different styles, weights, textures and vibrancy to your ensemble without having to buy new items of clothing.

William May has a large collection of statement necklaces, ranging from heavy chains to large beaded pendants. We don’t know about you, but we are absolutely loving this new trend and the impact it has had on the London Fashion Week runways up to now.

Adding a piece such as a statement gold chain can create instant vibrancy and a golden glow to your outfit, as well as adding that subtle touch of elegance. Simple, classy dresses are transformed into something more with the glamour of these necklaces. Celebrities such as Cate Blanchett have been surfacing this look, the actress was spotted sporting an electric blue statement piece with a tailored black, textured dress, bringing sparkle and richness to her outfit at the premiere of Cinderella.

So if you’re tired of the same, simple necklace and you feel the urge to try something new, a statement necklace may be on the horizon for you.
