Herringbone, Snake Chain & Collar Necklaces for Sweater Season
18
items Match the chain to the neckline and the whole outfit looks finished: flat herringbone and snake chains lie smooth against a crewneck's rim, while a rigid collar needs the open space of a turtleneck or V-neck. These herringbone, snake, collar and chok...
A twisted collar like this needs a turtleneck or a deep V to frame it, so I save it for my darkest sweaters where the gold really pops. It is 14k gold-filled, which holds its color far longer than plain plating.
Kendra Scott Victoria Large Twist Collar Necklace
Pearls over a cream cable knit look softer and less formal than most people expect. At $85 this silver-toned choker is an easy first piece if you want a close-fitting neckline look without a big spend.
Kendra Scott Mollie Silver Choker in Freshwater Pearl
Silver herringbone reads cooler and a bit more modern against gray, navy and black sweaters. Kendra Scott notes it can twist, so I smooth it flat each time I put it on and skip it for workouts or sleeping.
Kendra Scott Herringbone Chain Necklace in Sterling Silver
Mixed metal solves the problem of a wardrobe split between gold and silver pieces. The two-row collar sits right at the base of the neck, which makes it a good fit for scoop and boat necklines in chunky knits.
Kendra Scott Meg Mixed Metal Double Collar Necklace
When the neck is full of chain or covered by a scarf, a flat small hoop keeps the ears quiet but polished. The 14mm size stays clear of a turtleneck fold, and the flat profile echoes the herringbone shape of the necklaces.
Kendra Scott Flat Small 14mm Hoop Earrings
At 14 to 16 inches this sits high on the neck, so it shines with a wide neckline or an open shirt collar rather than under a crewneck. Five small diamonds give you sparkle for a holiday dinner without turning the outfit fussy.
Mejuri Multi Station Diamond Choker
If you buy the herringbone necklace, this bracelet is the obvious pair, and it is a bestseller for good reason. It comes in S/M and M/L, and the flat link slides cleanly under a ribbed sweater cuff.
Kendra Scott Herringbone Chain Bracelet in 18k Gold Vermeil
This is the thinner, more delicate take on herringbone compared with the bold Mejuri version, at $210. It sits comfortably at the collarbone under a crewneck and looks right with a thin scarf knotted loosely on top.
Kendra Scott Herringbone Chain Necklace in 18k Gold Vermeil
Kendra Scott says you can wear this by itself as a choker or layer other necklaces over it. In white gold with diamonds it is the formal option in this list, the one I would pair with a black turtleneck for a holiday party.
Kendra Scott Shannon 14k White Gold Collar Necklace
At $65 this is the budget pick for anyone who wants a smooth silver chain at the collarbone without trying a pricey metal. It is a Kendra's Pick, and I would wear it with gray wool or a white button-down under a sweater.
Kendra Scott Amelia Chain Necklace in Silver
Swarovski crystals scattered along a slim chain make this a good party-season choker over a black or jewel-tone sweater. The adjustable length means you can let it sit right at the base of your neck or slightly lower.
Kendra Scott Irit Choker Necklace
The round box chain is smooth with no sharp edges, so it feels good against skin under a turtleneck. At 20 or 22 inches it falls below a crewneck, a nice place to pair with a collared shirt under a cardigan.
Mejuri Sterling Silver 3.7mm Round Box Chain Necklace
Two herringbone strands in one clasp give you the layered look without having to untangle two separate chains each morning. At $48 it is the most accessible herringbone here, and it works with a crewneck or a V.
Anthropologie Double Layer Herringbone Necklace
Bolder and more statement-leaning than the rest, this collar for when you want a plain black sweater to carry an outfit. Check that it is a final-sale item before ordering, since there are no returns or exchanges.
Kendra Scott Serayah Vintage Silver Collar Necklace
A simple $80 gold chain is the easiest way to try the sleek-neckline look before you commit to herringbone. It comes in silver too, so you can match whichever metal your watch or wedding band already is.
Kendra Scott Vincent Gold Chain Necklace
A little crystal at the hoop adds sparkle that still looks quiet next to a plain chain. At $70 they are an easy, lighter-priced way to finish the look when the necklace is doing the heavy lifting.
Kendra Scott Colette Hoop Earrings in Gold
A bestseller at only $55, this simple silver chain is an everyday layer that sits neatly at the collarbone. It looks clean under a crewneck or over a turtleneck, and the rhodium finish pairs easily with a silver watch or hoops.
Kendra Scott Kassie Chain Necklace in Silver
Merrick keeps things simple at $55: a smooth gold chain that lies close at the collarbone and slides under knit collars without any fuss. It is the lowest-priced gold option here and works with nearly everything in a sweater-season wardrobe.
