So I bought this bendy snake necklace last month after seeing it all over TikTok. Honestly, it looked cool online but kinda intimidating in real life. That coily snake shape made me stare at it for like twenty minutes thinking “How the hell do I even wear this without looking ridiculous?”
My First Attempt Was Pure Disaster
Grabbed the necklace straight outta the packaging and just plopped it on my bare neck. Big mistake. The snake kept flipping upside down like some dead worm, and the tail kept poking my collarbone every time I moved. Felt like wearing a slinky toy. I even snapped blurry mirror pics thinking it might look better on camera – nope. Still looked like trash. That’s when I realized it needed serious layering tricks.
The Game-Changer Experiment
Dug through my jewelry box hunting for chains. Tried stacking it with my basic choker first – way too bulky. Swapped to this thin gold chain my grandma gave me. Bam! Perfect match. Here’s exactly what clicked:
- Placed the snake necklace OVER the chain – not under. Makes it look floaty instead of tangled.
- Pulled my hair into messy bun so nothing covered the snake’s head shape.
- Wore plain black crew neck tee – finally noticed how the silver snake pops against dark fabrics.
Did a little dance test to see if it stayed put. That clever bendy design actually hugged my neck instead of swinging like a pendulum. Felt like I cracked some secret jewelry code.
Where This Necklace Actually Slays
Tested it all week like a mad scientist. Looks fire with deep V-necks or off-shoulder tops. Tried it with turtlenecks too – terrible idea, just looked like a lumpy snake-shaped tumor. Best combo? Sleeveless ribbed tank + denim jacket. Snake head peeked out near my collarbone when I moved. Caught three strangers asking where I got it at the coffee shop! Still hate how it tangles with dangly earrings though. Gotta keep earrings simple studs or it turns into a hot mess.
Honestly thought about returning this piece twice. Now? Wearing it three times a week minimum. Pro tip: put it on last after your outfit’s done. Saw my reflection in a car window yesterday and actually grinned – that little metal snake finally looked like fashion, not some biology class prop.
