But how you gonna choose necklace matters. Here are some advice.

Different necklines look better with certain necklace styles.

Turtle necks – best with longer necklaces.

Crew necks – best with short necklaces such as necklace ‘collar’ or bib styles.

Scoop necks – fill in the space with multiple strands of beads or larger scale pendants.

Strapless – look great with chokers or short pendants, leaving your lovely decolletage bare.

Square necks – look for pendants with an angular finish to harmonize with the angular neckline.

Asymmetric necklines – look for necklaces that aren’t symmetrical, instead a necklace that has it’s own asymmetry can work, alternatively a long string of different sized and shaped beads can work well.

Halter necks – these create a narrow V neck – so look for a narrow pendant with a sharper end.

V neck – ideally a necklace that matches the shape of the V – depending if it’s a wider or narrower V neck.

Collared shirt (button down) – there isn’t much space for anything too wide, so a choker style works if you have a long neck, if not a slimmer pendant that sits above the last open button.

Boat neck – a long string or two of beads is ideal for this neckline.

Cowl neck – this neckline is already detailed and has volume, so either a short and small pendant or a pair of feature earrings instead of a necklace.

Sweetheart – a curved necklace that has width that will balance the open decolletage of this neckline.
