The Right Necklace for Your Neckline

Your choice of necklace can make or break your outfit.

How to choose the perfect necklace to go with your outfit? It doesn't mean the more expensive the necklace, the more stunning you'll look. Here in this section, we'll take a look at how different necklace lengths complement the different necklines of your outfit.

Collar Necklace

Collar (12 to 13 inches) necklaces lie snugly around the middle of the neck and instantly jazz up V-neck, boat-neck and off-the-shoulders tops.

Choker Necklace

Chokers (14 to 16 inches) fall perfectly aaround the base of the neck. A simple choker is a must-have accessory.

Chokers match any outfit and almost any neckline, but they especially play up the strapless or plunging necklines.



Princess Necklace


Princess necklaces (17 to 19 inches) fall just below the throat. This is the considered to be the popular classic piece because the versatile Princess necklace can be worn with just about any neckline from high crew necklines to low plunging necklines.

For a bolder eye-catching statement, you can also mix and match different types of pendants (like crystal, diamond, pearl) of different designs and colors to further accentuate your outfit.


Matinee Necklace



Matinee necklaces (20 to 24 inches) end at the top of the bust and look best when teamed with outfits with high necklines.

Avoid wearing this length with plunging necklines because the necklace will end where your neckline starts, and this tends to vie for attention with your blouse.

Matinee necklaces lend an air of professional sophistication to your outfit: perfect for your business attire.


Opera Necklace



Opera necklaces (26 to 34 inches) fall below the bust and look elegant with a very high neckline. Opera necklaces are traditionally worn with eveningwear, but you can use them to accessorize your more casual attire for a fresh, edgy fashion statement.



Rope Necklace



Rope necklaces measure at least 45 inches in length. The versatile Rope necklace is the accessory for the fashion chameleon.

Rope necklaces often come with hidden clasps located in strategic positions to allow the necklace to be broken up or linked together to transform into a variety of single- or multi-strand necklace and bracelet combinations to complete your look.

One necklace, many styles, so you can expect this versatile necklace to complement any outfit night or day.
