The Playboy bunny logo has gained worldwide recognition over the years. Dominating the fashion industry, this bunny-shaped logo appears on everything from shirts and hats to jewelry. In fact, many celebrities don Playboy necklaces on the red carpet.
However, despite having stylists at their disposal, many struggle to grasp how to style Playboy necklaces for a chic and edgy look.
I’ve made it my mission to explore various outfit combinations for both men and women, creating the ultimate guide for styling a Playboy necklace. Although jewelry styling can be challenging, don’t fret—I’ve got you covered.
How to Style Playboy Necklaces For a Chic and Edgy Vibe
Playboy necklaces come in a variety of styles, from bulky chains with large logos to vintage pieces and modern minimalist pendants. One style that particularly stands out is the minimalistic Playboy necklace.
Styling these necklaces to achieve a chic and edgy vibe can be tricky for those inexperienced with jewelry.
Even more challenging is incorporating a Playboy necklace into both elegant and casual ensembles to achieve that desired chic and edgy look.
Let’s delve into various outfit ideas for both men and women and see how to transform them to fit the chic and edgy vibe.
Styling for Men
Men have more versatility compared to women when it comes to wearing Playboy necklaces. Different outfits allow them to sport any length, type, or size of necklace without compromising their masculinity.
Even though a basic Playboy necklace can complement almost any outfit for various occasions, creating an edgy and trendy look requires more than just the necklace. Let me show you how:
From casual to edgy and trendy
To nail that chic and edgy look, casual daywear or trendy streetwear is your best bet. Casual outfits for men typically involve a T-shirt, crewneck, or hoodie. The same holds true for streetwear outfits.
For T-shirts or crewnecks with round necklines, opt for a shorter chain with a thin to medium width and a small to medium-sized pendant.
The ideal chain length is 18 to 20 inches, with a width of ⅛ inches (3mm) to ¼ inches (6mm). The pendant should not exceed two inches in size.
Choose simple, sleek silver or gold pendants over blinged-out ones. For a more edgy and chic look, I recommend vintage-looking necklaces made from sterling silver or mixed metals.
The worn-out look of the necklace adds to the laid-back vibe, drawing attention and enhancing your style.
For a classic casual vibe, try pairing gold-plated Playboy necklaces with a plain white T-shirt and a flannel shirt on top.
Complete the look with a matching Playboy ring made from the same metals as the necklace.
To convey an edgy vibe, consider accessories like a belt and side chain, along with black sunglasses. Black or ripped jeans will accentuate the look. For footwear, try Converse, Vans, or Doc Martens boots paired with a leather jacket or vest.
From plain elegant to elegant chic
Blending sophistication with edginess might not suit everyone, but it’s entirely doable with Playboy necklaces.
Start by choosing a longer chain Playboy necklace, ideally with a width of ⅛ inches (3mm) and a length of 22 to 26 inches, depending on your torso.
With a suit, unbutton the first one or two buttons of the shirt to let the chain peek through. Ensure the necklace is tucked into the shirt for an air of mystery and intrigue, adding to the edginess of the look.
When wearing a turtleneck, opt for a long and thin chain. The chain can be up to 28 inches long since the pendant will add additional length. Wear the necklace over the turtleneck.
A matching or semi-matching ring along with a belt will complete the look. To elevate the style from plain elegance to chic, choose everyday shoes like Doc Martens boots or high-top Converse shoes.
Styling for Women
When it comes to women’s outfits, it’s crucial that the Playboy bunny pendant remains small. Larger, bulkier pendants tend to detract from the feminine appeal.
Now, let’s explore various outfit options for women to achieve that chic and edgy vibe while sporting the iconic bunny necklace.
From casual to street-wear edgy
The adage “the smaller the necklace, the more feminine the look” is especially true for edgy outfits. While casual outfits vary, jeans or leggings paired with a T-shirt is a universally accepted laid-back look.
For an edgier vibe, stick to jeans. Black skinny jeans are preferable, while straight or flared fits work best for denim or patterned jeans.
Accessorizingwould include sunglasses, bandanas, waist or hip chains. Additionally, you could accessorize with pieces from our Edgy collection such as rings, earrings, and our Playboy necklace.
For those sporting a round neckline T-shirt, I recommend a maximum length of 22 inches for the necklace. Women should decide if they prefer the pendant to rest right above their chest or directly on it. The necklace would offer maximum comfort if worn right above the chest. Moreover, for round necklines, the necklace should be tucked in.
For V-neck apparel, the ideal chain length ranges from 22 inches to 26 inches. Women with smaller chests might prefer a longer chain, while those with bigger chests should go for a shorter length.
Unlike men, women can effectively layer necklaces, as it appears more natural on them. Layering necklaces achieves an edgy, yet feminine look.
If you’re layering a Playboy necklace with one or two others, it should be the longest in the set and the only one featuring a pendant. This approach ensures the necklace stands out without making the neck seem cluttered.
From elegant to chic and trendy
Maintaining a rebellious and edgy style while aiming to impress can be challenging, especially when elegance and sophistication are required. However, there are ways to navigate this.
I recommend opting for a dark-colored corset dress that is either short or mid-length. A flowy bottom enhances the look even further.
For deeper necklines, a long necklace—an 18-inch small-ring chain stacked with a Playboy necklace—will best complement the outfit, exuding an edgy vibe. Adding a belt matching the necklace’s metal will highlight the waist and enhance the grunge aesthetic.
When it comes to footwear, black platform ankle boots or low-rise cowboy boots create a well-coordinated look. Alternatively, black platform heels are a great option. For those seeking comfort throughout the night, I suggest black high-top Converse.
