The side chain is this season's trendy accessory: here's where it comes from and how to wear it

For this season luxury brands, fashion insiders and large low cost groups have joined forces and convinced us to "dust them off" and wear them again. Not necessarily with the same "punk" and nonconformist style of the past.
The origins
The side chain is experiencing a new phase of its existence. If in the seventies he expressed the anarchist and rebellious spirit of the movement punk, since the Eighties it has instead been strongly linked to musical culture, becoming a trousseau of band hardcore and new punk from the nineties. Therefore, from a wallet chain, conceived as a deterrent to theft and muggings, the side chain has then turned into a status symbol for one and more generations.
Streetstyle in chains
The stylistic gamble of Vetements it probably played a decisive role in the return of the side chain. From then on, style icons and fashion insiders made the trend their own, transporting it from the catwalk to the street and enhancing its success.
