Why these simple, chic chains might just be the missing link in your accessory wardrobe

A chain is a minimalist’s go-to accessory, partly because of its simple aesthetic but also because of its potential for layering. The best chains are the ones that not only make a subtle statement but that one can wear over and over again. From chunky, circular loops to subtle, asymmetrical shapes, these chic chains are the perfect foundation on which to build the rest of your accessory collection. Don’t be afraid to mix styles and metals (the more the merrier). Shop our favourites here.
