How To Choose The Perfect Necklace - One that makes you look
your sexiest
That necklace you wear can make or break the outfit. Of all the
jewelry pieces you might choose, your necklace can make the
greatest impact on the overall look.
Take a simple black cocktail dress for example. On its own, is
almost like a uniform. You could disappear into the crowd if you
are not careful.
Now add on a lariat. A stunning necklace that draws attention.
Better yet, if you have the height for it, put on a pearl rope,
or a gorgeous necklace that is 37 inches or longer. A really
long necklace that makes a grand statement.
Choosing that perfect necklace is all about what suits you. Your
height. Your build. Your neck. The outfit you are going to wear.
The right choice makes the overall look simply gorgeous.
Let's start with the neckline of the outfit. You want the focal
part of the necklace to be either against your skin or
contrasted against the fabric of your outfit.
The last thing you want is a necklace that is partially hidden
in your neckline. That would spoil the overall look. If the
pendant plays peekaboo in the neckline, then shorten the chain.
Or put that pendant in either a shorter chain, so it sits
confidently above your neckline, or go for a much longer
necklace that would contrast beautifully against the fabric of
your outfit.
Next, look at your neck.
Do you have a long slender neck? If you do, collar
necklaces or chokers<
/a> are for you. These ultra short necklaces bring out the
beauty of your long slender neck.
If you have a short neck, then make it look longer by wearing a
either a long necklace or a lariat
a>. The long vertical line of a long necklace makes your neck
look longer. The lariat, with the 2 dangling ends gives the
illusion of length. These necklaces also have an overall
slimming visual effect on your entire look.
Finally, look at your overall build. If you are petite, go for
daintier pieces. If you have a larger build, go for something
chunkier. Your necklace should be in proportion to your body.
Once you have evaluated yourself, pick a selection of necklaces
that flatter your body, in colors that match your outfits. A few
signature pieces are all you need.
