How to Pick the Perfect Necklace for your Outfits Neckline

Ever wondered what necklace to wear with an outfit?  It all depends on the cut but then the rules can also change depending on the style of the jewellery.  This week I will talk you through varying necklines and the perfect jewellery length and style of jewellery to wear with them.  The right necklace can enhance the overall appearance of an outfit.

Turtleneck

River Island 1Boat Neck

River Island 2These work well with long necklaces.  You can use long layered necklaces too that are beaded or chunky.  A necklace like this 2 row silver and rose metal necklace with crystal studded balls.

This could be combined with long chain and also rounded necklaces.

River Island 5The above 3 necklines look great with a range of styles.  A thin chained necklace with a pendant that doesn’t reach the neckline would be well suited for each and the bottom 2 would look lovely with this thick, short chunky piece that is nice and shiny.

River Island 6Halter Neck

River Island 7These necklines look super with a medium necklace and pendant.  They can also look great with a pendant that is narrow with a sharper end or that matches the shape of the V.  Not all halter neck tops have a V shape so look at the style and use the shapes and examples given above as a guide.

Some halter neck tops have a hole at the bust or spacing in the fabric.  If you wear one of these don’t wear a necklace instead style with some lovely sparkle earrings and a bracelet.

    You are right in saying that different necklines match different necklaces. For example chokers work really well with off the shoulders and strapless whereas pendants or statement necklaces look great with both scoop and turtleneck x

    I am very picky about my neckline since I dont like anything tight around my neck. I always choose a v neck or a scoop. Good to know what is flattering. 🙂

    Good to know. Glad I came across this post as I just bought a lot of necklaces for gifting purposes. A lot of my friends birthdays are coming up. So know the style of clothes they wear I can gift them appropriate ones.

    I never thought about necklaces and how they work with differnt necklines. But now that you get me to think about it I can see how important it is. Great insights here.

    I’ve always wondered what the best necklaces would be for my outfits. I wear scoops a lot and am glad my thin necklace with the pendant my husband gave me is the right choice!
