For easily pulling together envy-inspiring ensembles, statement-making necklaces are fashion’s MVPs. Take that former ’90s flash-in-the-pan style, the collar: It matches brilliantly with a variety of necklines, from crews to U-necks to bateaus. A bib with a button-down? A choker with an asymmetrical cut? Yes and yes. Go ahead—stick your neck out!
