Necklaces and Necklines
Necklaces and Necklines First, consider your comfort. No matter how well a necklace length traditionally fits a neckline style, your confidence in wearing the necklace is extremely important. You may carry off very unconventional pairings beautifully; consider your comfort level and style. There are things you might want to be aware of when buying a necklace. Does the color complement your skin tone? Will it go with clothes you have - or is it special enough to buy something specifically for the necklace?. Are you able to carry off large chunky styles, or are you more comfortable in dainty or classic styles? Finally, how long is the necklace and how will it fit with various necklines.
Necklace Lengths Collar 12 – 13 inches long
Sits above the neckbone
Works well with U-necks, boat necks, and off neck style necklines
Choker 14 – 16 inches long
Sits at the neckbone
Complements just about anything, but you may want to go to a princess size if you have a wide neck.
Princess 17 – 19 inches long
Sits below the neckbone
Very versatile
Works well with crew necks, high necks and plunging necklines
Matinee 20 – 25 inches long
Excellent for casual and business wear
Projects a professional image
Opera 26 to 36 inches long
Goes well with high necks, turtleneck or crew necks
Can be worn as a single strand, doubled, or knotted at the neck
Can work from day to evening
Necklines Styles Bateau This style sweeps across your collarbone to the edge of your shoulders.
Try one or two strands worn close to your throat.
Halter This is a difficult neckline to accessorize with a necklace because most styles will touch the neckline at some point. You may want to consider working with earrings instead of a necklace.
Jewel This is a high rounded neckline that sits next to your throat.
Most necklace lengths and styles will work well.
Low Back Consider accenting your back with a back dangle or a lariat tied in back.
Open Collar Try a chunky necklace that will stand out behind the collar.
Scoop This is a U-shaped neckline that may or may not mimic the U in the back.
Multiple strands that fill in the U go well with this style.
Square Neck Try to avoid anything to angular, an easy curving shape in a choker or princess length should work well.
Strapless Anything close to the neck (under 18 inches) works well. Consider a choker or princess style, Y-drop, tin-cup necklace, pearls or a necklace with a back dangle.
Avoid necklaces that “crowd” the neckline.
Turtleneck Any of the longer strands will work well.
V-Neck Consider imitating the V lines with a Y-drop, pendant or solitaire. You might also want to wear something close to your neck. |
