Spring is just around the corner and today we will help you find your perfect…
The type and length of the necklaces to wear should be identified by considering several elements that guarantee a certain aesthetic balance: the neck line, the type of face and body, clothing and length of the necklace.
To understand how to choose the right necklaces you have to pay close attention to the shape of the face because, as always, the jewels must enhance the qualities, and not emphasize the defects! With a round or square face, it is better to choose long necklaces that go down the décolleté, in such a way as to harmonize the geometries. With an elongated or rectangular face, like that of Sarah Jessica Parker, I would say avoid long necklaces and opt for choker or short necklaces, so as to rebalance the overall length of the image.
The type of neck is another element to consider to understand how to choose the most suitable necklace. With a slim and long swan neck, you can choose any type of necklace. But if the neck is not swan-like, then it is better to avoid thin chokers and necklaces that risk damaging the aesthetics. Rather, choose long necklaces, perhaps with chains or with a pendant, so as to slim the figure a little.
Let’s go now to see 5 models that you absolutely must wear next spring!
Choker or collar
Let’s start with the shortest measure. The collar fits snugly around the neck, unlike the round neck. It is also called a choker, and its history is thought to be linked to the French Revolution.
How to wear it: on a round neck t-shirt, or a top with bare shoulders; in the morning at work or in the evening with friends.
Who to give it to: the choker is suitable for women of any age! A velvet, leather, or silver chain collar is suitable for the youngest, even for teenagers; with pendants of medium-large size it is more suitable for adult and elegant women.
Round neck
The round neck wraps the neck in a soft, non-adherent way, and emphasizes the beauty of the slender lines of a “swan” neck. A touch of elegance that has begun to become common in Victorian England. A variant is the necklace with a pendant, fine, short and minimal, in which the focus is on the pendant.
How to wear it: the round neck is perfect with a neckline, perhaps a dress with off the shoulders and without sleeves.
Who to give it to: to younger women in conjunction with a special occasion; and to all women who pay attention to details and accessories: the choker is a necklace that cannot be missing among the precious accessories!
Matinée necklace
The length of the Matinée necklace is an average measurement compared to all types of necklaces.
A particular type is the graduated necklace, with the largest pearl in the center, and the others with dimensions to scale up to the smallest ones near the hooks.
How to wear it: as the name implies, it is used during the day, with a casual, sporty or office look. If the necklace is graduated, wear it with a high neck or choker dress.
Focus on the particularity of the pendant to make a precious gift and send a special message.
Long necklace
Elegant, vain, it stands out (and makes you noticed) with any dress you wear. It is longer than the Matinée and goes down under your breasts, even reaching your navel. For this reason, it can also be used rolled up, composing a two-strand choker: the beauty of the long necklace is also that it can be personalized!
How to wear it: it can be twisted several times, to make it shorter and more voluminous, or let it hang over a tight-fitting shirt.
The Opéra Necklace is for the evening, it goes very well with an elegant dress, even with a high collar, for a charming and classy look.
Who to give it to: to those who don’t leave home without wearing a jewel!
Tie necklace
Typical Y-shaped necklace, with the pendant placed at the hanging end.
How to wear it: try to combine it with other necklaces! Layering necklaces is one of the latest trends that wants to combine several types of necklaces together. Tie necklace + pendant necklace + chokers + multi-strand necklaces… A pattern of models in a single outfit.
Who to give it to: to fashion-conscious women, especially the younger ones.
