The snake chain is celebrating its big comeback in spring 2021 and is already adorning the necks of international fashionistas. What the pretty trend pieces look like and how you can best combine the trend – we'll tell you.
Don't worry, you don't have to be a reptile fan for this trend. Because a snake chain is not characterized by a snake pattern or even a pendant in the shape of a snake. The current It part is reminiscent of the elegant way of locomotion of a stroke only through its structure and the closely placed links – and that's why it got its name.
Snake chains look particularly soft and flowing
Fashionistas love this type of necklace because it hugs your skin like an anaconda. Modeled on the movements of the snake, it gives you something wild, but also something very noble. This is partly due to the fact that snake chains have a smooth surface that appears soft and flowing. Another advantage of the accessory trend: Snake chains don't get tangled! This makes the necklace an uncomplicated occupant of any jewelry pouch.
Layered snake chain
What else are we celebrating in addition to the elegant structure of the chain? It is perfect for layering. Because not only do they make something individually, but also in combination with other chains. The material of the other chains can also be different. The snake chain goes particularly well with pearl jewelery or larger-link chains, which each of us has certainly had in the closet since last year. But another snake chain – in a size larger or smaller – harmonizes with the cleavage.
This goes well with: Discreet earrings
The it-piece is well tolerated with other chains. What it likes less are opulent earrings, such as XXL hoop earrings or earrings with precious stones. The snake chain goes best with simple, minimalist hoop earrings or gold plugs that don't steal the show. Because the eye-catcher with the trendy piece of jewelery is clearly the cleavage – and it should stay that way.
On fabric or on skin?
When it comes to outfit styling, however, there are no restrictions: The chain literally winds its way through every outfit, which does not make it an all-round talent for nothing. Whether in winter on a turtleneck or in summer on slightly tanned skin with a top or off-the-shoulder dress – it enhances every look in no time. A little tip: the deeper the cleavage of your summer dress or top, the deeper the snake chain should be. Instead of a choker, the chain on a dress that shows a lot of skin should at least extend to the collarbone – it looks more proportional.
