A quick guide on matching two sides of the same coin—necklines with necklaces. There is no doubt that necklace elevates a look and is the easiest option to take your look up a notch. But these are waters you must tread with care, as they are so easy to go wrong with. The wrong necklace with an unflattering necklace can make your look come tumbling down. So here’s a lowdown to help you avoid such oops moments. The V-Neck V-neck style is omnipresent in all closets and also the easiest to pair baubles with. Just stick to basic drop pendant setpendant set or V and Y shaped pieces with it. Avoid chokers as the clashing makes for an uneven look. CaratLane Pick: Sophie Lariat Necklace The Standard Round neck People go wrong in styling the standard round neck more often than you would expect. If you’re wearing a turtleneck or a tee that covers you up till the start of your neck, then your best bet is a nice long beaded chain. If it’s a little lower, break out the chokers and bib style necklaces—just keep it in the round family and don’t opt for square shaped ones. CaratLane Pick: Azura Gemstone Necklace The Sweetheart Neckline The sweetheart neckline is a no brainer for romantic looks. With plenty of bare skin on display, choose something with width to balance out that decotallage. That being said, there is no better occasion to take that bold embellished piece you just bought for a spin. CaratLane Pick: Bell Flower Necklace The Boat Neck This one enhances your shoulders while giving a peek at your collarbones but is tricky to style too. It’s best not to choose anything overwhelming and will draw more attention to your chest or cleavage. Instead turn to a dainty, almost invisible chain that is either long or very short while avoiding touching the neckline. CaratLane Pick: Halo Cluster Necklace The Cowl Neck Let the voluminous detailing of the drapes and it’s movement take center stage and keep it fuss-free. A simple short pendant is all you need. Don’t add anything too OTT for the fear of creating a clashing (and not in a good way) look. CaratLane Pick: Mila Bar Necklace The Plunging Neck This one makes enough of an entrance by itself so don’t need to overcomplicate it. But since this style is mostly worn during formal events, jewellery becomes an important aspect of the look. Wear a long and complementary necklace but avoid chokers and asymmetrical pieces by all means. CaratLane Pick: Asfour Pebble Necklace The Square Neckline The no round on round rule doesn’t apply here. In fact you should offset this stiff line by pairing it with shorter, rounder neckpieces. You can also experiment with sharp V-shaped styles with this neckline. CaratLane Pick: Ritzy Pearl Necklace So no matter which neckline you are sporting, choose from our versatile plethora of necklaces for all ensemble styles here!
