A necklace is a great way to finish a outfit.The overall appearance of that outfit can be affected by the length of the necklace.You can use length to emphasize your best features and downplay others by wearing necklaces that accentuate the area where they fall on the body.When choosing a necklace length, it is important to take into account the general appearance of your neck, as well as your body type and face shape.You can create flattering results by wearing different necklines and necklace lengths.
Step 1: Take a measurement of your neck.
Measure the circumference of your neck before buying a necklace.If you are considering buying a very short chain, like a collar or choker, they are supposed to fit tightly.Hold the measuring tape close to your skin by wrapping it around your neck.Take your measurement into account when selecting a length.For a comfortable fit, add two inches to your neck measurement.Adding four inches to your neck measurement will give you a good length for a necklace.
Step 2: Take a look at the length and width of your neck.
Those with long, slender necks look most flattering in short chains.They are not as flattering on short or wide necks.If you have a short neck, you can use a chain that is between 20 and 24 inches (50 and 60 cm) in length.You can wear any length of necklace successfully if your neck is an average length and width.If you have a wide neck, you may need to go up an inch or two to make it fit.Adding three to four inches to your neck measurement is required.If you have a wide neck, you can wear any length you want, but consider the width of the chain.A thin chain is better than a thick one.
Step 3: Long chains accentuate your collarbone.
If you have a short neck, try to avoid short chains and go for something larger.The emphasis will be placed on your collarbone and bust area.Adding a pendant or charm to the chain can increase the effect.It will draw eyes to the jewelry and away from your neck.If you don't feel comfortable with the appearance of your neck, opt for a longer chain.
Step 4: You can emphasize your neck by wearing a shorter chain.
A shorter chain of between 14 and 18 inches is ideal for emphasizing a long neck.The collar and choker necklaces are very short and draw attention to your neck.The area will be emphasized even more if you choose a short chain with eye-catching details.
Step 5: Think about your height.
If you are on the short side, go with a necklace of 16 to 20 inches.Small frames tend to be overwhelmed by anything longer than that.The average height can get away with wearing almost any length of necklace.Long chains can look especially flattering since they accentuate height.While someone with a tall frame can pull off a short chain, keep in mind that this style may not stand out as much as you would like.If you are short, try to avoid necklace designs that overload your frame as much as a long chain length.
Step 6: You should choose a length that emphasizes your features.
The area where the necklace falls on your body is emphasized by it.If you don't want to draw attention to a certain area, avoid necklaces that end there.If you have a small bust, chains will flatter it.Try something between 28 and 38 inches.Since they won't hang properly, people with full figures may want to avoid chains.Go for a chain that is between 18 and 22 inches in length, as these will sit higher up on the neckline.
Step 7: The shape of your face should be considered.
You can emphasize your best features with the necklace length you choose.It can accentuate features if you aren't careful.Pick the best necklace length based on your face shape.chokers and other short necklaces will emphasize the roundness of your face if you avoid them.Oval shaped faces can be worn any length.A short chain will round off your face if it is long.If you have a heart-shaped face, try a short necklace style.Short chains balance out a narrow chin.
Step 8: Wear open- neck clothing.
Since shorter chains emphasize the neck area, you should choose tops that allow you to expose that area.The bare skin surrounding the necklace will make it stand out.To get the most flattering results, go for tops with sweetheart, scoop, v-neck, strapless, off-the-shoulder and square necklines.Don't wear turtlenecks and other high necklines with chokers.To make your necklace stand out even more, coordinate it with the neckline of your top.Pair a round-shaped choker with a top that has a scoop neck.
Step 9: If you want a versatile piece, choose an 18 inch (45 cm) chain.
The most common necklace length is this one.A necklace that is 18 inches (46 cm) long will fall at the collar bone area and marry well with almost anything in your closet.It is possible to wear it with a t-shirt or simple top just as successfully as you could wear a dress or other formal attire.
Step 10: There are 20 to 24 inch (50 and 60 cm) chains with business attire.
Chains that are between 20 and 24 inches (50 and 60 cm) in length can be easily styled with both casual and dressy clothing.They work well with slightly more formal attire, such as clothing you would wear to the office.The collarbone and bust area are where the chains end.
Step 11: For high necklines and evening wear, save your longest necklace.
You can best showcase the look of the necklace by wearing a high neckline.Pair a long necklace with an eye-catching pendant with a turtleneck.A dressier, more elegant vibe is created by long chains.A strand of pearls can be worn with an evening gown or cocktail dress.The necklaces should be looped around the neck twice.
