Collar Necklaces That Instantly Up the Ante

Fashion fans are borderline shopaholics. Basically because there's always a new trend to incorporate into wardrobes. But staying trendy can really drain a person's bank account. (We speak from personal experience.) Luckily, there are little tricks to get more wear out of the pieces already in your closet. Like investing in a few collar necklaces to enhance all those shirts, sweaters and dresses you already have in your arsenal.

Just to be clear, collar necklaces include, but are not limited to, choker necklaces. Chokers work better on turtlenecks, after all. The slightly looser collar category also applies to more plunging necklines. Collars make it easier to layer your necklaces like you're an Instagram influencer.

The only issue? There are lots of options to choose from. OK, so that's not an "issue" per se, but it does mean that it takes a bit of time to hunt down the best ones out there. No worries, though. Because we went ahead and did all the shopping work for you. We managed to compile the definitive list with offerings to fit every budget. We're talking starting at as little as $19.99 all the way up to $2,065. The latter amount can totally be justified by the sheer number of times and ways you'll flaunt the stunner.

Silver and gold are the most common versions. Although there are a decent amount of pearl-esque selections. Plus, a couple of necklaces feature colored stones or wood accents. There are a handful of tongue-in-cheek pieces if you're looking for some real conversation starters. Like Completedworks' deflated collar. Or Ferragamo's giant resin creation. Not to mention Coperni's wrapped headphone number. Looking for something a tad subtler? Try J.Crew's spiral take or Tohum's layered approach. The goal is to make the necklace look like it could be part of the clothing you're wearing.
