We’ve all been there: You put together an outfit that, in your head, had all the makings of a compliment-worthy look. But once you’re dressed, something still feels like it’s missing. The solution to this all-too-common fashion conundrum? A long pendant necklace. From quirky fish motifs to luxe stones, the jewelry trend is a surefire way to breathe new life into even the simplest ensembles.
Like many bygone trends that have resurfaced in recent years, long pendant necklaces trace back to the early 2000s, when celebrities and fashion it girls alike layered them over boho-chic dresses and flowy blouses. Lately, designers have brought the style back to the fashion forefront, spotlighting long pendants on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways. Michael Kors, for instance, sent out necklaces adorned with tiny leather wallets and gold-tone motifs, while Tory Burch debuted long beaded styles finished with luxe stone pendants.
A-listers like Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez have jumped on the trend this year, too, solidifying its comeback and suggesting it could stick around for the long haul — or at least until the next early aughts-inspired accessory gives it a run for its money.
