Call It a Chain Reaction

Feature: Quick Read

Words by Abigail Gurney-Read

What links Normal People’s Connell Waldron with the likes of Viktoria Rader, Elizabeth Delphine and Lucy Williams? A love of chain jewellery, that’s what! Aside from a shared eye for the next big thing, these women-in-the-know are just three of the myriad style mavens who have been sporting the trend like it’s going out of fashion. Except that it’s not.

Chunky, layered or twined delicately around wrists, this season’s hardware brings the Midas touch of sophistication to any outfit. Bonus points if you echo it elsewhere in your look; Spring/Summer 2020 saw Bottega Veneta’s Daniel Lee, for one, translate heavy metal fixtures across wish-list pouches and mesh sandals.

Our advice? Stock up, stack up – and blame it on a chain reaction.
