Spotlight On: Bib Necklaces

Despite its juvenile-sounding name, the oversized bib necklace is the definition of sophistication this season. Typically made of clusters of stones or intricate beading, the bib is the ultimate statement piece designed to be the focus of your look.

How to wear it:

Bib necklaces are best paired with simple tops and unfussy necklines. A simple tank or scoop neck tee or a classic little black dress are ideal for showing off this show-stopping piece.
