Bib necklaces became popular earlier this year. But it seems that this trend will continue into the fall. These types of necklaces are definitely statement pieces, which can sometimes be challenging when figuring out what to wear with them. Whenever you wear a statement piece, you want to avoid combining that with other statement pieces because it may end up looking costume-ish. Now, how do you wear something like this without over-doing it? Keep other accessories and patterns subtle. The best necklines for this are strapless, halter, scoop or even a plunging v-neck. These necklaces can be worn with dresses or tops, depending on the occasion.

If you don’t already own a bib necklace or can’t get enough of them, I’ve found a few options for under $60. Anthropologie has some great bib necklaces, but most are close to $200. However, they do have this colorful (and less dramatic) version for only $48. Kohl’s has an great vintage looking option on sale for $18.76! Another one is this navy piece from CUSP is a gorgeous statement for $55.
