How to Choose a Necklace For Your Different Necklines
After you know how to choose the perfect necklace for your frame, it’s time to pick the perfect necklace to go with your outfits!
Crew Neck Tops
Go for an elaborate bib or collar necklace because most of the time crew neck tops are relatively plain.
Turtleneck Tops
Long pendant or long beaded necklace to elongate the neck. Or if you have a long neck, choose a shorter pendant or even statement necklace.
Sweetheart Necklines
Choose either a pendant necklace or beaded necklace for looking your best. Don’t forget that pearls do work as well!
Scoop Neck Tops
Best when worn with chunky shorter necklaces. So if you have a statement necklace that you’ve been too nervous to wear – now is the time! Make sure it fits nicely inside the scoop.
Strapless Tops
Choker necklaces work perfect with strapless tops. You can either go for a ribbon and a pendant or something heavier like a chain-link choker if you have a slim neck. To break up broad shoulders, choose a V shaped pendant necklace or a smaller pendant. A light U shaped necklace such as pearls also works well.
Square Tops
Keep that ‘straight line’ and pair your favorite square top with angular or stacked necklaces.
Halter Tops
A simple, understated necklace like a slim chain works best.
Collared Shirts
Simple pendant necklace that fits inside the shirt. Or try chains or choker that is symmetrical and allows for part of it to be hidden under the collar.
V-necks
Keep the V by wearing V shaped necklaces, stacked necklaces, or just a chain and pendant for a casual chic look.
Boat Neck/Ballerina Tops
Long beaded necklaces or long layered necklaces suit this neckline best. So, you can easily add a statement to your whole look by layering necklaces in different lengths.
Although the guidelines are safe, there are times when making a statement and breaking the rules gives you that killer look!! Don’t be afraid to follow the rules and “color inside the necklace lines”, but also don’t be afraid to go bold, “color outside the necklace lines”, and create a look all your own. So, “Go Safe or Go Bold” or “Go Safe and Bold” – Get that look that works regardless of what you’re wearing!
