Want to see what we’re talking about? Check out the picks below.

The Story Shoulder Bag, Alexander McQueen

With braided leather (that looks a little like chains!) and a gold chain strap, The Story Bag from Alexander McQueen is one of our must-haves for spring. Team with a baggy tee and leather trousers for effortless weekend wear (with just a hint of grunge!).

Chain Print Shirt, Marni

Contrasting a bold chain print with silky-feel satin, this shirt is ideal for making a statement. Wear it from desk to dinner – just make sure you keep to simple accessories.

Chain Trim Leather Boots, Stuart Weitzman

In need of new boots for the festival season? These chunky Chelseas are sure to wow. In matte leather, they’ll last you right until winter, too!

Pearl and Chain Necklace, Celeste Starre

There’s no better combo than pearls and gold, which is why we’re wearing this necklace all-season-long.

Chain Print Midi Dress, Sosandar

Another desk/dinner hybrid, this midi dress from Sosandar is adorned with a vibrant chain print. Wear with courts or heeled boots for a look that’s statement yet sophisticated.

Matilde Chain Strap Sandals, Oliver Sweeney

Treat your feet to these stylish Oliver Sweeney sandals – the golden trim is perfect for the summer months, and the neutral leather will go with just about anything in your wardrobe.

Chain Strap Bucket Bag, Luisa Vannini

Team this leather bucket bag with a white tee, mom jeans and your freshest trainers, letting the green and gold do all the talking.

Silver Plated Chain Necklace, Stephen Oliver

We’ve mentioned a lot of gold, so here’s some silver. This curb chain necklace looks great alone or layered with other mixed-width chains.

Gold Chain Trim Mules, Alexander White

And last but not least, these stunning Alexander White mules – they’re made with a chunky chain trim, a mid-height heel and a gorgeous gold finish. Wear with a floaty white maxi and gemstone drop earrings for all your summer cocktail soirees.
