Choosing the right necklace to complement your neckline can elevate your outfit can be difficult as not all necklines suit every necklace. So we have put together a simple guide for the perfect pairings!
1. V-Neckline: Enhancing the Plunge
A V-neckline naturally creates a downward point that guides the eye to the center of your chest. The best necklaces for this type of neckline mimic the shape of the V, emphasising the elongating effect.
Best Choices:
- Pendant Necklace: A pendant on a medium-length chain that falls right above the V shape is ideal. It mirrors the neckline and creates a harmonious look. Opt for classics such as our Celeste Pendant or Sun Dial Pendant.
Avoid: Chokers or short necklaces that cut across the neckline, as they can disrupt the visual flow.
2. Scoop Neckline: Embrace the Curve
A scoop neckline has a rounded shape so the goal here is to complement the curve.
Best Choices:
- Round or Curved Necklaces: Opt for necklaces that follow the shape of the scoop such as our Ripple Necklace.
Avoid: Necklaces that are too long or V-shaped, as they can clash with the rounded neckline.
4. Off-Shoulder Neckline: Spotlight on the Shoulders
Off-shoulder necklines expose the shoulders and collarbone, making them a natural focal point. The right necklace can highlight this feature and add a touch of sophistication.
Best Choices:
- Choker Necklace: A choker or shorter necklace that sits snugly around the neck and draws attention upwards such as our Fiji Chain.
Avoid: Long necklaces that hang too low and detract from the neckline.
5. Halter Neckline: Follow the Lines
Halter necklines can be tricky to accessorise as they typically create a lot of visual interest at the shoulders. The goal here is to keep things simple and avoid over-complicating the look.
Best Choices:
- No Necklace: Sometimes, the best choice is no necklace at all, especially if the halter design is intricate.
Avoid: Chunky or short necklaces that can clash with the halter’s lines.
Final Tips for Necklace and Neckline Pairing
- Balance is Key: Your necklace should complement, not compete with, your neckline.
- Personal Style: Ultimately, your personal style and comfort should guide your choices. If a certain pairing feels right to you, it likely is!
