Trendspotting at W&M: Monogram Necklaces

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WM chapter.

Monogram necklaces usually range in price from around $50-$150. Silver looks best on certain complexions, as does gold; find out here which metal best suits your skin tone. Monogram necklaces can match with practically any outfit, whether it’s with your puffer vest in the winter or your sundress in the summer! They come in all different sizes, lengths, and styles! Get personalizing, collegiates!

Cold Weather Looks

Try out a silver pendant with black leggings and a gray two-toned sweater for the perfect neutral and comfortable look! I’ve also seen a gold pendant paired with cognac-colored riding boots, black jeans, and a navy puffer vest over a blue and green plaid button-down. She accessorized with gold bangles and gold bow earrings. This is the ultimate look for winter if you’re a preppy collegiate! Another gold pendant pairing I’ve spotted on campus was a patterned pencil skirt worn with a white v-neck, a gray cardigan, a navy utility jacket, and brown riding boots. A preppy ensemble I’ve caught sight of consisted of, of course, a gold monogram necklace, a camel-colored sweater paired with a bright orange puffer vest, and the college girl’s staples: black leggings and cognac riding boots. A more professional look I’ve seen included a red and navy striped top worn with a navy blazer, a gold watch, and gold bangles.

Warm Weather Looks

I’ve spotted a smaller-sized pendant layered with other necklaces, and paired with baby blue chiffon shorts, black strappy sandals, and a pink cardigan worn over a black tank. Another amazing look I’ve seen on campus was a pink cardigan worn with a white tank and a black skirt, and topped off with a pair of leopard loafers and, of course, a monogram necklace! For a more laidback look, throw on some cowboy boots with a navy cold shoulder dress and a brown fringe bag. For a fancier look, take inspiration from this outfit I spotted: a light blue chiffon blouse paired with white jeans and sparkly white flats. Another option is to wear your personalized necklace, as one collegiate did, with a white tank, a yellow cardigan, a gold watch and bangles, nude strappy sandals, and skinny jeans.
