It depends on how you dress them.
I have a triple strand of graduated pearls from my mother. I am very casual and often wear them with a white button down shirt and a pair of black jeans and cowboy boots (from Louisiana, you know) and they look good.
If I wear them with a simple dress, they look more ladylike but still fresh.
I think they only look dated (to me) when you are dressed to the nines.
This is just me and your mileage may vary!
