Choosing and matching the right accessories to an outfit may seem simple, but it's actually not. Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets can enhance or ruin a certain look in a snap. That's why choosing the right accessory is not just about picking it wisely but also wearing it correctly. Let's take a look at what they are and how to wear them.
Tips on Choosing the Right Necklace for Your Outfit
Let's start with the basics: what should you pay attention to when choosing a necklace to match a certain outfit?
- The style (whether it's sporty, elegant, or casual)
- The neckline (is it deep? Heart-shaped? And so on)
- The colours of the clothes you're wearing ( Colour season, in fact, is crucial, even when it comes to jewellery!)
- Your physique
- The size of the necklace you'll be wearing.
How to Match a Necklace Based on the Neckline
Every neckline deserves its own necklace: here's how to choose the right one for the dress you're wearing.
Necklace for a Round Neckline
If you're wearing a dress with a round neckline, a choker or a not-too-long necklace would look great. Consider choosing one in white tones with precious stones, like Colour Wave necklace in 925 silver. In general, it's best to choose delicate necklaces with small or large and unique pendants, depending on your taste, like the SeiMia collection necklaces: refined, elegant, and customisable.
Necklace for Low Cut Dress
If you love to wear low cut dresses and are looking for a necklace (or more!) to match, the important thing to remember with this type of look and dresses with deep necklines is to always opt for long necklaces. Long and thin necklaces are perfect for enhancing dresses with deep necklines. In this case, the length of the necklace should reach the neckline and can have either an important or minimal pendant, depending on your taste. For example, the Sweetrock Nature long necklace in 925 Silver with Rose Gold 916 surface coating and Black and Red Cubic Zirconia would look great with a low cut dress. You can also play with layering jewelry, which always has a nice effect, especially with dresses with wide necklines.
Necklaces to Wear with Blouses or Round Neck Dresses
It's a different story when it comes to choosing necklaces to wear with a blouse or round neck dress. A thin necklace would look great with a shirt that you leave open at the top buttons or a chain necklace with wide links would be perfect to wear on top if you prefer to button it up completely. As for round neck dresses, long necklaces are back in play, but even shorter models (not too short!) can still enhance this type of dress.
Best Necklaces for an Elegant V-Neck Dress
If your V-neck dress is not too plunging, you could opt for a thin chain with a pendant, like the romantic Sweetrock necklace with a red heart pendant.. However, for elegant dresses with a deep V-neck, once again, the choice should fall on long necklace models and multi-layering.
