How to Layer Jewelry Like A Fashionista

You’ve seen all the celebrities and fashion influencers showing off their layered looks and you are now ready to style a layered look of your own. You might be wondering, “How do I select jewelry pieces to layer? Where do I  begin when it comes to layering jewelry?”

In this post, we are sharing our tips on how to layer your jewelry like a fashionista. 

Whether it be necklaces, bracelets, or an ear stack, layering is a great way to add a customized element to your overall look. 

Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Layering

Traditional layering often focuses on evenly spaced necklaces, whereas, non-traditional lets the layers fall where they may. 

So now let’s get into the various ways you can layer and stack your jewelry.
