You can look stunning in a necklace, whether it’s a pendant, chain or string of pearls. To find the perfect “fit”, look at your face, neck, and body type.
Would you be able to find a necklace or five that you don’t wear often if you went through your jewelry collection? Let’s take a look at why.
It could be that the piece isn’t what you want anymore. You could have had it as a fun trend and then you became bored of it. It could also have been “that unfortunate gift” that someone gave you in the past.
It’s more likely than not that there are two main reasons why you don’t wear it. It doesn’t fit in with your overall wardrobe. Two: It doesn’t flatter you.
How can you avoid repeating the same mistakes? Let’s take a look at the options and find the right length necklace for you.
Standard necklace lengths in the jewelry industry are measured in inches. These numbers are often more even than odd. But, the chain can be cut to any length and custom-designed pieces are possible.
Keep your neck up
We have tips for women, as men may not have the same concerns regarding their wardrobes or body types. (But gentlemen: You might learn something about buying necklaces for women.
To find the perfect length locket necklace, simply measure the extended length of your necklace or the clasped length. Then, double it. This is the length that you find most flattering or works well with your outfit.
You can think about your whole body, from your face shape to the size and shape of your bust to how tall you are to your overall body type.
Start with your neck. Your neck is the most important part of any necklace. Necks are long and necks are wide. Some necks can have wrinkles. A long neck can be worn with almost any item. Wrinkly necks and short necks are more difficult to fit necklaces. Remember, however, that there are always exceptions to any general advice. It’s best for you to try on necklaces, if at all possible.
Widths and lengths
A choker is a great choice for a long neck, or “swan neck”, which is a very thin and long neck. A choker worn on a shorter neck can make it look smaller and wider than it actually is. A choker on a short neck is not appropriate, especially one that’s wide. Don’t try. Choose a necklace between 20 and 24 inches in length. This will make your neck look longer and more swan-like. Avoid tight and short necklaces for wrinkled necks. They draw the eye to the wrinkles. Instead, use a longer necklace with a striking pendant to draw the viewer away.
Your upper torso is another important part of your body. A necklace less than 22 inches should not be placed above the bust. If you choose to go longer, however, it is important that the necklace fits your bust and length, particularly if you have a shorter or fuller figure.
Many women make the mistake of not taking into account their height. It’s understandable, as women who are averagely tall and taller than others can wear any length necklace. However, if you are taller, a shorter chain might get lost. Long necklaces and chunky designs can overwhelm short women. Choose a length that is just above your collarbone if you are 5’4″ or less
Bottom line: Look in the mirror to see how your necklace looks. If you love it, you can wear it!
Face it
The shape of your face is another important consideration. Common descriptors for oval, round and square are heart-shaped, square, square, and round. Oval faces can wear any length necklace, but it is important to consider your height, neck, and body size. A longer necklace with a pendant, charm or charm is best for round faces. Avoid the round choker, as it can make your round face appear rounder. For heart-shaped faces, the recommendation is to do the opposite. A choker’s roundness will smoothen out the planes and angles of the heart shape. The choker’s roundness is also beneficial for rectangular faces.
Chokers are great for many different types of faces. What if you are a turtleneck wearer? A choker might not be right for you. Consider what you are wearing when choosing the length of your necklace.
Your closet
Another important aspect of your necklace length decision is your everyday wardrobe. Let’s use turtlenecks for an example of a wardrobe. Turtlenecks look great paired with long ropes of beads or chain. But if your figure is short or large, it may not. After you’ve decided what necklace you want to wear, make sure that the length of the necklace you choose enhances your overall appearance.
When you are choosing a necklace for yourself, there are many factors to take into consideration. We have discussed your neck, face, and body types, as well as how your clothes will affect the length of the necklace you choose. You might just find something that you love and need to have after all this planning. You are the only one who can decide if a cool necklace you don’t like is the right length for you.
