For the past six months, I’ve been very devoted to my gold hoop earrings and layered pendant necklaces, and I rarely leave home without them. They are bonafide staples that have quickly become my everyday jewelry essentials. Looking to the other editors at the Who What Wear office who wear similar pieces each day, there’s no doubting the popularity of the jewelry styles.

Recently, though, I’ve been craving something new to wear as an everyday wardrobe staple. So when I started spotting tennis necklaces on cool fashion girls and celebrities, I became intrigued. I first noticed them styled on Ciao Lucia—the dainty necklaces paired with pretty silk dresses and tops. Then I spotted Emily Ratajkowski wearing one on her Instagram. Now it seems like she rarely leaves home without it draped across her neck.

I have a feeling that this jewelry trend is about to explode and just ordered an affordable version to try out myself. Ahead see how everyone is wearing the trend, and then shop my edit of tennis necklaces.
