Layering 102: How To Wear The Lariat
If you've gotten the basics of layering down, it's time to learn another trick: how to wear the lariat.
Lariats are Y-necklaces that appeal to the modern minimalist because of it's clean and linear look. Heyjow lariats come in a variety of forms: ones with a toggle lock front closure, ones with a long drop chain, and ones that are embellished with crystals or pendants.

Lariats with a front closure can be easily adjusted to the length you're comfortable with.
