The New Necklace Trend Fashion Girls Are Wearing in Europe

After almost a decade of keeping my neck adorned with the most delicate necklaces, you'd have a difficult time convincing me to consider a statement style again. It wasn't until recently that my mind started opening up to the possibility, thanks to the stylish return of the cord necklace. I was particularly drawn to styles boasting bold pendants in various shapes, like hearts, swirls, shells, and more.

Over the past few months, I spotted cord necklaces on what felt like nearly every one of my favorite European fashion follows on Instagram. It was blatantly clear there was a new jewelry trend brewing, and I couldn't help but find myself entertaining the idea of wearing one as I started planning my summer wardrobe. What's great is that the necklaces work for many occasions, from casual to formal. Plus, it appeals to a variety of personal styles as well. Ahead, shop my top cord necklace picks of the moment and some outfit inspiration to get a sense of how to style the trending piece.

A bold red helps you make a statement.

There's something about yellow gold mixed with white.

Of course, Zara would get in on this necklace trend.

The Scandi fashion crowd loves heart pendants.

This one make me think of Phoebe Philo's Celine.

An oval or teardrop style seems to be a go-to.

Chocolate brown is a personal favorite.
