Necklace Buying Guide to Match the Neckline of your Dress



How often have we regretted a purchase because it looked good on the model, but doesn’t look good on us? Necklaces can be tricky. They look good on the models we see online but don’t suit us because of the different necklines. Certain necklines of dresses go well with only particular necklace designs. Like a big picture pendant looks exceptionally good with a sweetheart neckline dress. A mismatched pairing may create a not-so-impressive look. In this blog, we take a deeper look at the different types of necklines and what necklace designs may best suit them.


Square Necks

A short necklace that sits prettily on your collarbone would be the perfect pair for a square neck outfit. If you’re wearing a simple chain, go with an angular pendant. Both these styles paired with a square neck give you an elegant and chic look.


V-necks

V-neck dresses are one of the easiest to pair. Choose a V-shaped necklace design for a V-neck. A gemstone necklace or a delicate picture chain will do wonders to highlight your outfit’s V-neck stylishly.


Scoop necks

Scoop necklines give you the freedom to pair your outfit with both short and long necklaces. If you’re going with a long necklace, just keep in mind that the length of the necklace does not hit below your bust line. Large stone necklaces or a pearl set will go wonderfully well with scoop necks.


Boat Necks

Pair your boat necks with long necklace sets going below your bust line, or choose multi-stranded medium-length neckpieces. Both these styles do a great job of accentuating your neckline, adding effortless glamour to your whole look.


Sweetheart Necks

Sweetheart necklines look the most flattering on every woman. Beaded necklaces or a pendant chain look best with this kind of dress. One thing to make sure of is that the length of your necklace ends right above the neckline of your dress, so it does not overlap with your outfit. For any special occasion or a glamorous outing, a small choker would pair nicely with your sweetheart neck outfit.


HalterNecks

In most circumstances, it is best to go without a necklace when wearing halter neck outfits. But if the occasion calls for it, you can wear a choker necklace with a high-neck halter dress that will make you look slender.


Turtlenecks

With a turtleneck outfit, you need a long chain with a medium-sized pendant to make an impact with your look. A baguette heart picture pendant with a long gold chain that sits comfortably over your bust area would look good. Opera length necklaces can also be paired nicely with turtleneck outfits.


Strapless

When it comes to a strapless design outfit, a beautiful choker necklace is usually the best bet. Embedded in diamonds or heavy gemstones, a choker highlights your neck and shoulder perfectly. If you want something a little less extravagant, go with short pendants.


Off-shoulder

With an off-shoulder dress, the trick is to keep the neck area light. As the outfit is designed to highlight your collarbones and neck area, pair it with a light chain or asymmetric necklaces. Pair it with quirky pendant designs for a fun and casual look.


Conclusion

As a last word, we would say that pairing a necklace with the perfect neckline is not always about following the rules. Sometimes, you follow what your instinct says and it can look equally as good. Be it a big picture pendant or a choker necklace, you can follow this guide to perfectly match your necklaces with your outfits.
