What Necklaces Suit Different Dress Styles

Necklaces make a beautiful accompaniment to most outfit choices. But did you know different necklaces pair perfectly with different dress styles and necklines? Choosing the right necklace style and length to suit your outfit can really make a difference to the overall look.

We’ve put together the necklace styles that will suit your outfit choices.

Plunging

A dress or top with a plunging neckline that exposes the chest and neck should be paired with a long, delicate chain. This could also include a dazzling solitaire pendant to enhance the plunged appearance and draw more attention to the chest. A chunky, beaded necklace with a lot going on will deter attention from any exposed skin.

Sweetheart

A sweetheart neckline is extremely popular, particularly with brides and bridesmaids. As a sweetheart neckline is quite wide, the necklace you choose should balance this; opting for wide, metal links that sit flat work best, as do those with unique, angled appearances.

V Neck

If you are wearing an outfit with a V neck, the necklace you choose should mimic this style. The necklace you choose should not drape further down than midway down your chest, as a shorter necklace will avoid drawing attention to the chest and keep it on the overall outfit and your face.

Scoop

Scoop necklines are extremely easy to pair necklaces with as they go nicely with a variety of pieces. Whether you want to opt for a large, chunky necklace or a dainty, delicate chain, the only rule to wearing a scooped neckline is to ensure the necklace fits in the open space of your chest.

Collar

If you’re wearing a collared dress or a smart business shirt, you can choose a bold or delicate, short or long necklace design to wear with your outfit.
