The fashion industry has been going through a revolution ever since its origin, and each day fashion mongers find new quirky ways of style to lure us in the modern era. While necklaces were originally made to have a clasp or closure, the fresh styles now have designs that will alter the very definition of necklaces. The new-age fashion market showcases various upgraded types of necklaces that are either born different from their ancestors or are a tweak of the old ones here and there. Many of them are already part of your trendy jewellery collections. From fancy artificial ones to the ones made of gold or diamonds, necklaces in any form make our necks attractive and our attires gorgeously complete.
There are a variety of necklace styles or designs that can be worn in more than one ways. One such necklace is the lariat necklace. A lariat necklace is like a long chain or string of materials without a clasp or closure on either end. They usually are between 30 to 50 inches long but not necessarily. Each end of the neckpiece is often completed with a decorative or embellished element like a drop or tassel, but it can also have other designs. Edges of some lariats hold hoops, pearls, scarf findings, feathers, gems, or other eye-catching intricacies. This long and free-ended feature of a lariat gives fashion lovers several style options to experiment with their outfits. Let’s explore the different ways one can style a lariat necklace.
The Simple Wrap
If your lariat necklace is long and doesn’t have a hoop at the edge, then you can simply wrap it around your neck, let both the ends of the necklace cross each other at the back and then dangle at the front of your neck. This style looks good with deep neckline dresses and cami tops. You can decide the length of the lariat touching your neck according to your necklines.
The Small Knot
Wrap the necklace around your neck and bring both the end to the front. Now loop them over once to make a simple knot like tying a shoe lace. You can adjust the length of the knot according to your outfit’s neckline. Put the knot close to your neck for a long-tie choker style lariat.
The Big Knot
Wrap the necklace around your neck and hold both the ends of the strand together in front. Now create one chunky knot with both the ends together like a knot in a rope. Try this style for your party looks and with chunky jewellery.
The Double Wrap
Wrap the necklaces around your neck twice and make a knot in the front. Let the ends dangle in the front of your neck. If your lariat is long, you can create a layered necklace look using this technique. And if you have a short lariat, then make an open choker look. Layered lariats are perfect casual necklaces for your daily outfits.
The Back Drop
Wearing your necklaces at the back is also a stylish move for your sassy backless gears. Lariats can be worn at the back too. Just make sure the elaborate ends of your lariat are hanging from the back part of your neck. You can leave the two ends loose and let them fall on your back, or you can tie them like a knot or in other ways.
The French Tie Side Knot
Double wrap the necklace around your neck like we mentioned above. Now tie a simple knot with both ends. Then sweep the knot to the side (left or right – depends on you) like a french neck tie. You can try different types of knots in the same spot. You can try this style with your one-shoulder outfits.
The Bow Knot
Make a single or double wrap of the lariat as per your neckline or choice. Now create a bow knot in the middle part at the front of your neck. You can try this with your fancy lariats too. It looks best with off-shoulder dresses.
The Layered Look
In this style, you can try multiple lariats together for a layered necklace look. You can also mix and match them with other necklaces or chains. A choker and a simple chain lariat is the best combination to add to your casual jewellery pieces. You can pair them with your regular ensembles.
