This fall, give in to the power of the pendant necklace. Fashion insiders clearly already have. Look at the fall-winter 2025 collections, step inside your favorite store, or glance at a photo of any celebrity known for their style, and you’ll see a common thread: the pendant necklace.
Whether it’s worn over a boho blouse with lots of ruffles, a basic T-shirt, or an elegant dress, we’re seeing oversized pendants with long chains dominating the fashion sphere. Celebrities like Daisy Edgar-Jones, Rita Ora, Salma Hayek, and Jennifer Lawrence have all embraced the look.

The chunkier, the better when it comes to these pendant necklaces. On the runway, brands like Ralph Lauren, Chloé, and Gucci have made the jewelry trend a statement piece, styling them without distraction so that all the attention falls on them.
As for how to style the pendant necklace for this fall, you could combine them with thinner chains to create a contrast of volume. Or do as the designers do and let the necklace breathe: A V-neckline, a slightly unbuttoned blouse, or a relaxed knit sweater are the perfect backdrop to let this accessory shine on its own.
For a timeless air, look for pendant necklaces that have handcrafted finishes, soft shapes, elements of nature, or aged metals. Whatever details you choose, go big.
