PrncxJewelry: Neckline and Necklace

Wow! I actually did not realize that it has been four days since I posted on this blog. So sorry for the "break in transmission". But do not worry, I am back and will not leave you for that long again, I promise (I will try to keep that promise).

Anyway, I have decided to share tips on how to determine necklace that will complement your neckline (You know I promised to do that in one of my earlier posts).

So here we go...

Your tops usually come in one of these necklines (not exhaustive anyway): Turtle necks, Crew necks, Scoop necks, Strapless, Square necks, Asymmetric necklines, Halter necks, V neck, Collared shirt (button down), Boat neck, Cowl neck, Sweetheart.

As different as the necklines are, so are the necklaces that will go with them. Imogeni on http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2013/04/how-to-choose-necklaces-to-work-with-your-neckline.html explains how to choose the best necklace for your neckline.

Turtle necks – best with longer necklaces

Crew necks – best with short necklaces such as necklace ‘collar’ or bib styles

Scoop necks – fill in the space with multiple strands of beads or larger scale pendants

Strapless – look great with chokers or short pendants, leaving your lovely decolletage bare

Square necks – look for pendants with an angular finish to harmonize with the angular neckline

Asymmetric necklines – look for necklaces that aren't symmetrical, instead a necklace that has it’s own asymmetry can work, alternatively a long string of different sized and shaped beads can work well.

Halter necks – these create a narrow V neck – so look for a narrow pendant with a sharper end

V neck – ideally a necklace that matches the shape of the V – depending if it’s a wider or narrower V neck.

Collared shirt (button down) – there isn’t much space for anything too wide, so a choker style works if you have a long neck, if not a slimmer pendant that sits above the last open button.

Boat neck – a long string or two of beads is ideal for this neckline.

Cowl neck – this neckline is already detailed and has volume, so either a short and small pendant or a pair of feature earrings instead of a necklace.

Sweetheart – a curved necklace that has width that will balance the open decolletage of this neckline.

Now that you know, I hope you will not commit any dressing blunder again when choosing your necklaces.
