A leather necklace is one of those stylish accessories that exists in the space between rugged and refined, and is coveted as fashion edges towards androgynous style. Whether a simple leather cord or a more detailed piece, they can be added to any stack while staying true to individual style.
Each leather necklace offers a form of customisation unique only to leather. As the material ages and develops, new looks are formed in bold ways. The piece purchased initially takes on a life of its own, allowing the wearer to weave their story into every strand of cord.
Leather necklaces are a versatile everyday accessory thanks to their unique blend of style, natural texture, and nostalgic appeal. They have the unique ability to be both relaxed and polished, making them a perfect choice for plain t-shirts, simple dresses, and classic knits.
Leather cord necklaces are seeing a mass resurgence, with designers like Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors featuring them heavily on their runways. These couture designs are transitioning into A-list styles, seen on Jennifer Lawrence, in recognition of the retro-styling identity they held throughout the 90s.
They’re incredibly easy to layer with mixed metals, allowing them to take on an identity of their own in every edit. They add texture and pair seamlessly with bolder chains, such as our Classic Herringbone Chain Necklace. Their patina adds dimension to every look, lending a unique sense of character unlike that of any other metalwork.
Leather jewellery can be styled for both casual and elevated looks, thanks to the organic texture it lends to every edit. When dressing casually, pairing a leather cord necklace with simple ensembles like baggy jeans, structured t-shirts, knits, and boots adds a touch of personality. Their nostalgic design nods to the 90s, blending the decade's minimalism with modern clothing.
Elevated styles can be paired with a pendant leather necklace by adding it to looks featuring tailored pantsuits, oversized blazers, simple dresses, and button-up shirts. The bolder pendant creates a focal point, balancing the outfit's structure with a more neutral necklace.
Pairing a leather cord necklace with a pair of statement earrings boldly adds balance, aligning with both understated and expressive looks. It invites personality in every edit, allowing you to present your own style in a way that truly suits you.
The pendants that pair best with leather cords include:
Unisex jewellery is growing in popularity because accessories are now seen as a form of personal expression, rather than being limited to rigid traditional gender categories. Choosing jewellery based on style is becoming increasingly more popular, with androgynous pieces featuring both bold and understated edits.
Throughout younger generations, inclusivity in fashion is becoming more accepted. Social media trends and celebrity influence allow these pieces to blend across genders, keeping expression at the forefront. It’s easier to style, swap, and add into every edit, regardless of where your personal style sits.
Leather necklaces can be layered with metal pieces in a variety of different ways, including:
The trends shaping relaxed, casual jewellery styling include minimalist accessory edits. Rather than opting for bolder, structured pieces, minimalist edits are leaning into the natural tones of organic pieces, helping to evoke a laid-back appeal in every curated stack.
Layering pieces provides a simple way to add texture and interest whilst keeping this casual look. Mixing multiple pieces maintains a relaxed edit whilst helping balance styled ensembles. Gender neutral designs are influencing the pieces chosen, creating androgynous jewellery collections that reflect personal expression above all.
