How to Choose the Right Necklace for any Neckline

Choosing the perfect necklace to go with any top can be such a confusing task. You don’t want to look over-the-top and you’re not really sure if your outfit “goes” or “looks right.” 

We’ve made it easier for you! Check out this guide to match the perfect necklace for any style of neckline — the most important thing is, however, too keep the focus up and towards your face. 

#1. A turtle neck goes perfect with long chains or pendants.

#2. A “crew” top fits with any “bib” or “collar” style of necklace, which reach higher up the neckline.

#3. A “scoop” neckline gives you the ability to have a little fun with your necklaces — go with a shorter pendant with volume to bring the attention up.

#4. A strapless top gives you a blank slate — why not go bold, with a “choker” style necklace?

#5. A square neckline is a little tricky. Go with angular pendants to break off the square shape of the top. 

#6. An off shoulder top is super cute and popular in all wardrobes. Again, take a risk with a big, asymmetric necklace to make a statement.

#7. A halterneck doesn’t require a chunky necklace — keep it simple with a slim pendant that will keep the focus on the pronounced cleavage of a halter top.

#8. V-necks are also super popular, they will elongate your body, so keep the trend going with a V-shaped necklace as well. 

#9. If you’re wearing a collar top for work, choose a more discrete pendant or choker — you don’t want too much going on near your pretty face. 

#10. Similar to a turtleneck, a “boatneck” top also gives you the freedom to choose a longer necklace below the bust line.

#11. For a cord top, again you don’t want too much going on, and the style of the top acts like an accessory in itself — this time, choose bold earrings to take center stage in your outfit.

#12. A sweetheart neckline gives a super romantic and flirty look, go with carved beads or pendants to match the look.
