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 flatters 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 pop? By selecting the right jewelry, of course!

Jewelry 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 absolute elegance. This kind of dress can also be chosen for more laid-back moments, especially when paired with comfy-chic or sporty shoes, like sneakers.

To choose the right jewelry to wear with a black dress, consider the occasion: for casual outings, you might opt for a necklace with a fun pendant, like the many offered in the SeiMia collection. Among pendants shaped like stars, flowers, and hearts, the black dress will undoubtedly adopt 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 coatings, or the SeiMia necklace in various colored recycled cords, 100% recycled polyester, customizable with a variety of different pendants.

However, if you're in the market for a necklace for a black sheath dress suitable for a more elegant occasion, you should look at sparkling options, like the Sweetrock necklace with a red heart, crafted from 925 sterling silver with a rose gold finish; or the exquisite Colour Wave necklace in 925 sterling silver studded 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 coating.

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

There's more than one aspect to keep in mind when picking the best necklace for a black dress, and the decision shouldn't only be about the occasion. Without a doubt, choosing which pieces of jewelry to don (and we're not merely talking about necklaces) requires careful thought. Gold and silver jewelry, along with colorful options, are all suitable choices; the key is to steer clear of brown or blue shades, two colors that clash with black.

Furthermore, the dress's neckline plays a critical role in necklace selection. For dresses with a sweetheart or boat neck, chokers or shorter necklaces would be ideal. For deep V-necks, a long necklace that aligns with the neckline, Y-necklaces, cascade necklaces, or lengthy pendant necklaces would be perfect. Round necklines are quite versatile and could be easily embellished with both short and long necklaces, like chokers or those with understated pendants. Off-shoulder dresses pair well with shorter necklaces, while turtleneck dresses should be complemented with sleeker, delicate necklaces, like string necklaces or minimalist pendants.

The overall style also matters: for a chic look, necklaces with gemstones and precious stones complement black perfectly. On the flip side, for a more casual look, you can choose more whimsical and less "serious" designs.
