Which Necklaces to Pair with a Black Dress

We all know that choosing to wear a black dress means playing it safe and always looking stylish, suitable for almost every occasion. While black suits nearly everyone and is synonymous with elegance, sophistication, and style, there are times it can feel a tad too simple, even plain. So, how can you make an outfit with a black dress stand out? By selecting the right jewellery, of course!

Jewellery Pieces to Match with an All-Black Outfit

A black dress is the perfect choice for more than one occasion – and not just for formal or special events that demand strict elegance. This type of dress can also be chosen for more relaxed moments, especially when paired with comfy-chic or sporty shoes, like trainers.

To choose the right jewellery to wear with a black dress, consider the occasion: for casual outings, you might choose a necklace with a playful pendant, like the many offered in the SeiMia collection. Among pendants shaped like stars, flowers, and hearts, the black dress will undoubtedly take on a more laid-back and relaxed vibe. A perfect necklace to go with a black dress for casual wear is also the steel chain necklace, available with PVD rose or yellow surface coatings, or the SeiMia necklace in various coloured recycled cords, 100% recycled polyester, customisable with a variety of different pendants.

However, if you're looking for a necklace for a black sheath dress for a more formal and elegant occasion, you should look at dazzling options, such as the Sweetrock necklace with a red heart, made of 925 sterling silver with a rose gold finish; or the exquisite Colour Wave necklace in 925 sterling silver dotted with white Cubic Zirconia; or even the TrueJoy necklace in 925 Sterling Silver with side butterflies and white Cubic Zirconia, available with a 24K yellow gold surface coating.

What to Consider When Choosing a Necklace to Wear with a Black Dress

There's more than one factor to consider when picking the best necklace for a black dress, and the decision shouldn't be solely based on the occasion. Undoubtedly, selecting which pieces of jewellery to wear (and we're not just talking about necklaces) deserves careful thought. Gold and silver jewellery, as well as colourful options, are all fitting choices; what's crucial is to avoid pairing with brown or blue shades, two colours that don't harmonise with black.

Another point to take into account is the dress's neckline that plays a pivotal role in necklace selection. For a dress with a sweetheart or boat neck, chokers or shorter necklaces would be ideal. With a deep V-neck, a long necklace for a black dress that follows the neckline, Y-necklaces, waterfall necklaces, or long pendant necklaces would suit perfectly. Round necklines suit both short and long necklaces, such as chokers and those with subtle pendants. Off-shoulder dresses look great with shorter necklaces, while turtleneck dresses should be paired with thinner, delicate necklaces, like string necklaces or minimal pendants.

The overall style shouldn't be overlooked either: for a sophisticated look, necklaces with sparkles and precious stones pair perfectly with black, while for a less formal look, you might consider playful and less "serious" models.
