Match Your Necklace To Your Neckline

While matching your necklace to your ensemble, women often just look at the color and style of their outfit. Another important aspect to consider is the neckline of what you are wearing. The length and the style of the necklace chosen to accessorize your outfit, has a lot to do in how your ensemble turns out to be - Elegant, Chic, Gaudy or Overdone.

When donning a garment with a plunging neckline, shorter necklaces may be a wise choice. Girls who choose to don a V-neck or broad necked kurta a short gold chain or even a black chord thread adorned with a pendant will look good and catch the attention of the jewelry.

For clothes that feature a high neckline, like a Chinese collar kurta, a crew neck T-shirt,or a formal office shirt, which when worn covers your neck, a longer necklace is best. An elaborate string of pearls or a long silver chain will look just lovely even with a turtleneck.

With Sarees the rules could vary. With an elaborate saree, like a rich kanjeevaran (Rekha sorts) or ones with heavy embroidery a short necklace which falls right on the neckline looks classy. If it’s a plain saree with just a border a long necklace adds glamour to the ensemble.

However a bright bead necklace or an elaborate short necklace also will go well with a plain saree. Mid-length necklaces are also lovely, and can work for necklines of all heights. These pieces can also add a little weight to feminine, floaty blouses, and make your get-up appear more polished.

Ladies should make sure they have these go-to pieces in their jewelry box at all times. A waist-length necklace that can be looped, a mid-length piece and a shorter chain that rests on your collar bone are all necessities.

Just like the Little Black Dress, having staple jewelry items on hand is a must!
