Having disappeared from the radar for several years, this accessory is now revisited by creators and adopted by a new generation which has not experienced its golden age.
Fashion works in cycles, but some returns are more surprising than others. While minimalism dominated until recently, the fashion shows of recent seasons show a renewed interest in strong visual details, capable of transforming a look in the blink of an eye. Among them, an accessory that many thought belonged definitively to the past is making a comeback, worn differently.
At the start of the 2010s, this accessory accompanied outfits very marked by their time and was enough to give relief to basics. We saw it in the hallways of high schools, in party photos published online and in the looks of the first fashion influencers. Voluminous, colorful, sometimes made of synthetic materials or shiny elements, this fashion accessory played a central role in the silhouette. Then, with the rise of a more discreet style, it gradually disappeared, replaced by finer and less visible details. However, some people never parted with it.
Today, his return is not the same. On the catwalks of recent collections, the new versions display more elaborate lines and more subtle combinations of materials. The designers rely on clean shapes, controlled volumes and combinations between metal, revisited pearls, modern resins or colored stones, with a more structured approach than at the time. The objective is no longer to accumulate, but to make it a stylistic focal point which dialogues with clothes with sober cuts.
Worn with a white shirt, a minimalist dress or a tailored ensemble, it becomes a graphic element that draws attention to the upper body and immediately changes the balance of an outfit. In short, the accessory which marks this revival and which we now find at the forefront of trends is none other than the XXL necklace.
If you too have a box of jewelry forgotten in the back of the closet, this might be a good time to dig into it again. Certain pieces could well come back to the forefront and appear in your next looks.
