Pump it Up

Pumps by Style

It’s been said that clothes make the man but we beg to differ. Sometimes one key accessory can turn an ordinary outfit into a showstopper, and to exemplify, bib and choker-style necklaces were highlights of this Fall’s runway collections.These bold necklaces can shift an ordinary top or sweater into a style that’s right on trend. The key ingredients to this look are ribbons, pearls and chains, flowers and mixed materials — and to pair said accessory with a neutral, unpatterned outfit. Keep the clothing as the second fiddle and let the jewellery shine!Below, some of our favourites.
