How to Choose the Right Necklace for Different Necklines: A Visual Guide


A reader recently asked me for tips on how to match necklaces to necklines, and it dawned on me that I had absolutely no clue. For me, it's always been about trial and error. And sometimes, nothing seems to work (especially since I keep buying crazy big statement necklaces that end up collecting dust on my shelf because I have no idea how to wear them). Finally, I decided to try to put together a visual guide that I could reference when I'm feeling "accessory-challenged" - and it's already helped me out a couple times. All photos were taken from Anthropologie.com.

Do you follow any "rules" for matching your necklaces to your necklines? I'd love to hear them!

Brilliant!! And I'm happy to report that I chose the proper type of necklace with my scoop-neck top today :-)
