Chunky necklaces are everywhere in fashion magazine spreads for "what to wear this summer" — and it's easy to see why; you just put one on and you're accessorized. Because they are so bold, they really shouldn't be paired with earrings or much else, though they can work well with a patterned dress in these print-on-print times.
