How to Layer Necklaces like Taylor Swift

By now, we all know that breaking the internet and going viral is just a regular Tuesday for Taylor Swift. We’ve seen the videos of her record-shattering Eras Tour and read the headlines of how she’s capturing the hearts of NFL fans. Since last year, the singer has been at the forefront of some pretty iconic pop culture moments, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

So it’s only natural that all cameras focus on her whenever she steps out for the typical girls’ night out or attends an exclusive red carpet event. On those rare but magical days, our doom-scrolling on TikTok turns into a slideshow, featuring candids of Taylor sporting her signature red lip and a perfectly styled outfit.

And as one may expect, we usually end up zooming in on every piece of jewelry she wears.

That’s how we noticed a detail that’s VERY important to us: Taylor Swift loves layering necklaces (and we couldn’t be happier with this revelation).

So after studying a bunch of her candids and styles from the latest carpets, we have discovered the perfect formula for building a stunning necklace stack like Taylor Swift.

In this article, we tell you all about it. Let’s dive in.

Step 1: Choose your centerpiece

After swiping through a ton of Blondie’s latest photos, we have recognized a pattern: Taylor is leaning more and more towards using bold chains and necklaces that sit high up her neck as the centerpiece of her stack. One example of this is her VMA 2023 after-party look, where she was seen sporting a gold chain necklace with a precious gemstone as the cherry on top.

Choose a bold chain necklace as a first step. You can go with the Just Click Chain (available in both gold and silver), or with something similar to the Stellar Chain, which has an encrusted clasp, very similar to Taylor’s chokers.

Step 2: Add some diamonds

Out of the very few things we can say we have in common with Taylor Swift, we can proudly highlight this one: she LOVES a good tennis necklace. But what woman doesn’t love affordable diamond necklaces?

Taylor has been seen wearing beautiful tennis necklaces in her layered sets, and they look stunning when they reflect the flashes of the paparazzi’s cameras.

As a step two, get yourself a tennis necklace that’s only slightly longer than your main chain necklace. That way they can both shine when paired together. Our best recommendations are this classic Tennis Necklace, or the stunning 3 Prong Tennis Necklace.

Step 3: Add a pendant necklace

It comes as no surprise that the same woman who wrote “I want to wear his initial / On a chain 'round my neck, chain 'round my neck / Not because he owns me / But 'cause he really knows me” loves sporting pendant necklaces in almost every necklace stack she wears.

To accompany your bold chain and tennis necklace, you can add a pendant necklace of your choice. Normally, these pendant necklaces have dainty chains that will beautifully complement the other necklaces in your layered set. We recommend the I See Necklace for this.

Step 4: Add more chains

Taylor’s main look for the VMAs 2023 carpet showed us that she’s not afraid of wearing multiple chains together. So to finalize your perfect Taylor-Swift-esque layered necklace set, feel free to add a couple of more chains to your set. They can be both silver or gold (or better yet, both!).

We recommend going with medium chains to maintain harmony and not overshadow the centerpiece. Here are a few chains that can work with this look: Emerald Point Necklace, The Needle Necklace, Letter Square Necklace, and the Herradura Necklace.

Styled Layered Necklaces

If you’d like to skip the trouble of putting a necklace set together by yourself but you’d still like to wear layered necklaces like Taylor Swift, consider buying a layered necklace set. The great thing about these sets is that they are already styled and ready to wear, and they usually cost way less than what you’d spend if you bought every necklace separately.
