Choose the right necklace for your neckline

necklacestory

Finding the right kind of necklace to wear with your outfit can sometimes be confusing. Not all necklaces go with all kind of necklines. Here's a quick cheat sheet to help you make a choice.

Boat neck: Boat neck is in vogue nowadays. But the since it is a closed style, choose a geometric shape necklace that sits close to your neck. Consider a piece with jaali work or a necklace with scallop like design.

V-neck: Since V-necks tend to be narrow, the idea is to create an illusion of a longer neck. This can be achieved with a choker that rests right on top. You can add a longer necklace to add to the illusion.

Scoop neck: Actually, this is a safe choice as many styles can be paired with this neckline. You can opt for a round shape necklace with a large pendant. However, choose a style that will stay close to your neck. If you are feeling bold, you can even go for a layered statement piece that isn't too long.

Strapless: Here's another style with which you can experiment. Long, short, thin, stranded, layered—there are a lot of options you can consider while picking out a necklace for this kind of neckline. The choice depends on the mood and occasion.

Cape-style: Since these styles too tend to be closed, you can work with a layered necklace or a rani haar. Choose one with stones contrasting your outfit. You can also opt for a simple chain with a statement pendant.
