Though dainty gold chains have been decorating the décolletage for seasons, fashion is taking the look up a notched link. From designer chains to Cuban links, these on-trend pieces are actually a return to a classic. See who’s wearing them well, and shop pieces that range from investment to approachable.

’80s Baby
Embrace the subtle, sultry appeal of understated ’80s glamour—yes, there is such a thing—with a plunging top and cinched trousers, all done up in a restrained palette. Pair with a simple gold chain, of course.
