There are accessories, and then there are accessories. The heart necklaces that we’ve noticed many of our favorite fashion people wearing are definitely the latter. Beginning with Saint Laurent’s romantic Puffy Heart necklace back in the spring, the trend has since taken on numerous variations. The fun of it lies largely within individual interpretation, as the styles we’ve seen range from the likes of downtown punk to gilded baroque.
While oversize, “puffy” hearts seem to be the common denominator for the most part, we’ve also taken note of subtler, playful styles. For instance, stylist and writer Michelle Li recently layered a smaller, light-pink heart with a beaded necklace and gold chain. No matter which variation resonates with you, love is certainly in the air this season. Keep reading for a breakdown of our four favorite heart necklace styles below.
