We’re huge fans of statement necklaces. They’re the easiest way to jazz up an old top and make it look new again. It’s fine to stick one over a plain white tee, but why not kick things up a notch this fall? From peplum and purple to spots and stones, here are five inspired pairings to get you started.

Polished classic with a twist. There’s something very Kate Spade-esque about textured gray and a bright bauble. Bouclé peplum top, $50 at Topshop, and Archipelago necklace, $165 at J.Crew.

Urban scenester meets Southwest artisan. Very floaty and free. Acne graphic-print shirt, $395 at My Theresa, and Kenneth Jay Lane pendant, $200 at Net-a-Porter.

Button the collar of your shirt all the way up, then let the metal necklace hang under as an accent. Sleeveless blouse, $49 at Dorothy Perkins, and multi-chain rounded-collar necklace, $20.44 at Asos.

Faux animal skins and deep green are two major trends for fall you can start wearing right now. Vince Camuto tie-waist blouse, $37.49 at Lord & Taylor, and Tinley Road collar necklace, $38 at Piperlime.

An easy, breezy combo for the weekend. DKNY silk top, $157.50 at the Outnet, and resin pendant, $98 at Kate Spade New York.
