Falconiere Multi-Chain Metal Epaulets

OK, I am not the edgiest gal around but still I am no old fogey but I somehow find myself feeling like one when looking at this. First of all, I was like, “What the heck is this thing they call epaulets? And then I find out it is for your shoulders and then I was like, “Why the heck would you put such a thing on your shoulders?” I really think this looks awful and they have a professional stylist at Net-a-Porter and the best they could do is wear it over a fitted blazer? I imagine this would quickly become a hazard because it is not light and it could easily get off kilter and strangle you. I’m thinking it could look better and might even be cool if worn with a dress with a similar or higher neckline so the strand of links that go across the chest could look more like a necklace. Or, since this is very medieval, it would work well if you have an armor you need accessorizing. At Net-aPorter for $540.

  1. Usually with impractical pieces, the design is at least interesting or idiosyncratic. But this is plain boring. I could get a few chains from a local crafts store and easily replicate this at home.
