How to Wear Our Wavey Heart Cord Necklace in SS25: Effortless Style, the Sustainable Way
By Another Mother Jewellery

As the fashion world is still in full Summer mode, one thing is clear: simplicity is the new statement. From runways in Paris to street style in Copenhagen, the minimalist mood is in full swing — and cord necklaces are having their moment now and heading into AW!

Once seen as dated and frumpy, the cord necklace is now an essential layering piece, bridging effortless cool with elevated elegance. At Another Mother, our pieces are sustainably crafted to last beyond the trend cycle — but that doesn’t mean we don’t embrace the moment. Here’s how to style your cord necklace this season.

1. The Bare-Neck Look: With Off-Shoulder & Bandeau Silhouettes

SS25’s silhouettes are all about bareness — off-the-shoulder tops, bandeau dresses, and plunging halters are everywhere. A cord necklace with a simple pendant draws the eye to the collarbone without overwhelming the neckline.

Style it with:

• A strapless linen midi dress in cream or chocolate brown like this dress from Dissh

• A fine gold or silver charm pendant on a dark cord

• A slick bun and oversized sunglasses for that quiet holiday luxury vibe

👉 Keep your colour palette simple for a more chic look

2. With Tailored Linen & Oversized Shirts

The SS25 mood leans heavily into relaxed tailoring — think oversized shirts, drawstring trousers, and boxy co-ords. A cord necklace adds softness and bohemian charm to otherwise structured looks.

Style it with:

• A crisp oversized shirt, half-tucked into linen trousers similar to this Cos style

• A shorter cord paired with a longer or oversized charm drop

• Gold studs and a leather crossbody to finish the look

🌿 This is the ultimate ‘city-to-coast’ uniform — perfect for days that end with Aperol.

3. With SS25’s Sheer & Crochet Textures

Transparency is trending. From sheer organza to open-weave crochet, the textures of SS25 are soft, breathable, and perfect for warm-weather layering. A cord necklace adds contrast and tactility.

Style it with:

• A sheer blouse layered over a bralette

• A fine black or brown cord to complement delicate fabrics

• Paired with simple drop earrings and a recycled silver ring stack

✨ The key is balance: if your clothes are bold, keep jewellery intentional and refined.

4. As a Statement Against Overconsumption

In a season where sustainability is becoming more than just a buzzword, the cord necklace also offers a subtle nod to conscious style. Lightweight, handmade, and non-precious in the best way — it aligns beautifully with SS25’s more grounded, authentic energy.

Style it with:

• Your simple oversized t-shirt and old capri pants

• A single handcrafted pendant on natural cord

• A woven bag and toe thong sandals

🌱 Because your jewellery should look good and do good.
