Choosing the Right Necklace

By: Mercedes Aspland

The necklace you choose can make or break an outfit, however knowing what the right necklace is can be difficult. The aim of this article is to give you some advice and tips on picking the right necklace for different necklines.

There are a few things to consider before you look at your neckline. The first thing is the occasion that you are attending. If it is a daytime event you may want to go for a more understated necklace. However if it is an evening event you can go for a more expensive flashy type necklace. You also want to consider the look you want to achieve. It is important to remember that any necklace will draw attention to your chest area. If you do not want people’s attention drawn to your chest consider not wearing a necklace.

We now want to consider the neckline of what you are wearing a pick a necklace to go with it. To help you with this we have put together a list of different necklines and our tips on the type of necklace you should be going for:

1. V-neck Tops

If you are wearing a v-neck top then you may find a single pearl drop or pendant will compliment it perfectly. This will draw attention to the v and add some extra luxury. We would recommend pick a gemstone that has colours that match your outfit. This will only help to highlight your positive points. You may also find that this type of necklace goes perfectly with boat-neck and crewneck tops as well.

2. Strapless and Off the Shoulder Tops

If you are wearing a top that is strapless of off the shoulder in any way then you want to go for a necklace that stays very close to the neck. The best thing to go for is some sort of choker. Those that have a gem in the middle and a stand of beads round your neck can look beautiful. For a more dramatic look you can go for a solid satin choker. If you are trying to achieve a classy, elegant look then a single strand of pearls will work perfectly.

3. Business Clothes

If you are wearing a blouse then it is good idea to add a solid piece of costume jewellery. It is a good idea to go for something long that hangs below the point where the buttons on your blouse start. If you are wearing a suit then something that sits flat on your collarbone can help to add the seriousness that you require. It is a good idea to coordinate your earrings and belt with any necklace that you choose.

4. Turtleneck Tops

If you are wearing a turtleneck top or even a jewel-neck then you can try going for a long string of beads. This will help to add more interest to your outfit. You can try using different beads in the day compared to the night. For instance precious stones work well in the day whereas crystals will add some glamour in the evening.

5. Square Neck Top

If you are wearing a top with a square neck then try going for a long pendant. Those that are long enough so that they hang between the collarbones will work really well.

Our final little tip is to remember that the oils from your skin will get onto the necklace when you wear it so remember to wash it regularly and keep it looking great.
