Necklaces For Every Neckline

Which Necklace Goes With This Neckline?

Do you ever feel that you don’t know what style necklace to wear with your outfits? Well we are here to give you some simple guidelines. These are not hard and fast rules, just a guideline to make picking the perfect necklace fast and easy.

V Neck

V-necklines usually show more skin which means you have more room to express yourself. Necklaces in a ’V’ shape or short collar style compliments this neckline. A ‘V’ shape necklace can be anything from a simple metal chain with a pendant to a bold beaded necklace with a pendant or multi stone bib necklaces. As with the ‘V’ shaped necklaces, collar necklaces of metal or stones look just right.

Blouses

A button up shirt is a basic top that you will find in every women’s closet, its simple, neat and compliments skirts, pants, jeans, and shorts.  But do you know what the best necklace to wear with it is?

Bib and collar necklaces look polished with a fully buttoned shirt by wearing the necklace under the collar so the front is seen between the collar ends. But even if you have an open collar, a collared necklace will still look great.

Another popular style for open collars is the layered look; this can be short or long layers. Layering metal with metal, metal with beads, or beads with beads this will make a bold yet subtle statement. 

 

Crew Neckline

Crew necklines are the most versatile necklines when it comes to necklaces.

If wearing a crew neckline, collar necklaces worn close to the neck with bold beads and or metal really elevates an outfit.

Long and short necklaces are simple and effective as are the layered look.  Short to long layers is a simple effective look.

Scoop necklines which are crew necklines just a little deeper have more room for play like the ‘V’ neckline. Statement necklaces, bold and beautiful make it easy to accessorize a plain top. Go for color and texture. If you want to keep it simple opt for a simple metal necklace, layered or not, its simple and easy.

 

Strapless

A strapless dress or top is a classic look, it can be elegant or fun, it’s all about your neck and shoulders and with that said, short necklaces looks great, emphasizing your neckline. A necklace 12”-16” sits far above the neckline emphasizing your neck and shoulders. But that's not to say a multi strand of pearls wouldn't look just as fabulous, all eyes will be on your necklace. 

If you are making an elegant statement my first choice is a simple strand of pearls but a gold or silver thick chain looks just as pretty. 

But if you want to make your outfit pop add a bold statement necklace with mixed metals, beads, stones, flowers, or nautical themes for fun.

Don’t be afraid to go bold with vibrant colors, textures, or crystals, there are so many beautiful options out there. So have fun and create new looks for yourself, that’s what jewelry is all about!

2016 Jewelry Trends from the London, Milan, Paris, and New York Fashion Weeks

 As with every fashion week, we see outrageous outfits that get our attention, some we will wear and others we just admire. And just like the clothing we see, some pieces of jewelry fit our everyday lives better than others.  And that’s not to say that we don’t love the outrageous because we do, jewelry helps us to be the person we want to be and want people see in us, just like our choice of clothing. Sometimes its easier to put on a little black dress and look elegant and simple but when paired with a bold chunky colorful necklace makes our little black dress pop and so do we.  The beauty of jewelry is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to change your look by buying new clothes; accessories are and always will be a key element in fashion.

Every girl should have the simple, elegant pieces of jewelry in their jewelry box that they can throw on without a thought knowing they will pair nicely with any outfit like pearls, gold or silver chains, and simple chain bracelets but you need spice in your life and that’s where your statement necklaces, chokers, brooches, statement rings, stacked bracelets and all the other exciting jewelry come in.

This years jewelry trends are pearls, chokers, statement necklaces, vintage necklace, brooches, multi rings, and statement rings.  We will be seeing these in bold colors, chains, fringe, crosses, large hoops, and crystals.  But that is not all, we will still be seeing a lot of tassel’s, stacked bracelets as well as wrapped bracelets.  

I think what is great is that almost any jewelry style is seen and admired. And what will always remain true is that gold and silver will never go out of style but can always be taken to a new level.

So be bold, or not and accessorize your lovely outfits to meet your personality, mood, or image you feel, but have fun!
