Necklaces are a fun, effortless way to elevate an outfit/ensemble – one simple piece can transform an outfit from “so so” to polished and on‐trend. Even if you’re not usually a jewelry person, a minimalist necklace can instantly make you and your outfit feel put‐together and more chic.
The key is strategic placement: a necklace can elongate a short neck or visually shorten a long one, draw attention toward or away from your face, and even balance proportions (for example, shifting focus from a larger bust or highlighting a slim waist).
If you prefer a more subtle approach, choose a necklace that closely matches the colour/s and or pattern of your top – this keeps it harmonized while still adding a touch of flair. Just remember: your necklace becomes a focal point, so be mindful of where it lands and what it highlights…
A necklace in your eye colour offers lots of WOW factor!!
Pairing necklace length to neckline is essential for a harmonious outfit. Ideally, your necklace should sit just above or along the neckline of your top – think delicate chains grazing the skin rather than draping over your shirt. For higher necklines like boat, turtleneck, or crew styles, longer necklaces add the perfect vertical line. And with a cowl neck – where the fabric already creates its own statement simple earrings often do the trick instead of a necklace.
