Choosing a necklace isn't just about your style or mood; it's also influenced by the shape of your top's collar. Wearing the right jewelry can transform a plain look into an elegant and harmonious outfit. Here's a guide to pairing necklaces and collars to enhance any outfit.
1. Round neck or boat neck
The round neck is classic and covers the upper chest, while the boat neck widens towards the shoulders.
-
Recommended necklace:
- Long necklace or pendant to create a vertical line and lengthen the silhouette.
- Necklace that falls just below the chest to add elegance.
- Avoid: Chokers, which can “cut” into the neck and clutter the collar.
- Tip: A thin necklace with a personalized charm adds delicacy without overwhelming the top.
2. V-neck
The V-neck is ideal for elongating the neck and highlighting the décolleté.
-
Recommended necklace :
- Short V-shaped collar that follows the line of the collar.
- Thin pendant that falls in a V to accentuate the verticality.
- To avoid: Long necklaces that can clash with the shape of the collar.
- Tip: A personalized pendant is perfect for drawing the eye to the center of the neckline.
3. Turtleneck or funnel neck
The turtleneck covers the entire neck where the funnel neck covers the base of the neck; these collars require necklaces that sit on top.
-
Recommended necklace :
- Long or multi-strand necklace that falls over the torso.
- Oversized pendants to create contrast.
- To avoid: Chokers or chokers, which blend in with the collar.
- Tip: Play with the texture and volume of the necklace to liven up a simple collar.
4. Square collar
The square neckline reveals the shoulders and upper bust.
-
Recommended necklace:
- Choker necklace or choker to highlight the neckline.
- Short necklace with a central pendant that does not compete with the line of the collar.
- To avoid : Long necklaces that “fall” on the top and can unbalance the silhouette.
- Tip : Personalized jewelry or engraved charms in the center of the neck add an elegant focal point.
