Do you wear long necklaces and statement necklaces? Do you wear one of these everyday? Or do you shy away from necklaces because you really don’t know where to start? I’ll share some simple tips to help you determine what necklaces are best in your wardrobe based on your body type, and when to wear them! Both long necklaces and statement necklaces are great to add to a style uniform.
Long Necklace
Wearing a long necklace gives your outfit that added pizzazz. Wearing a long necklace gives others the illusion that you are ten pounds less because a long necklace elongates your torso. Long necklaces work great with most outfits and should end just above the belly button.
If “the girls” get in the way, then wear a long necklace with a somewhat heavy pendant to alleviate the chance of Uni-boob. (You know. . . when the necklace lays over just ONE of the girls! If you have ever met me in person, you know this would never ever happen to me but my sisters and many friends run into this issue! It’s a serious one.) If this is a fear of yours and you just don’t want to deal with long necklaces, then enter the Statement Necklace.
Advantages of Long Necklaces
- Many can be worn long or short and some are reversible. Hence, giving you four ways to wear one necklace.
- Multiple long necklaces can be combined to create one large statement necklace. Score! Versatility at its finest.
- Long necklace elongate your torso providing the illusion that you weigh about ten pounds less.
Statement Necklace
A statement necklace is a necklace typically about 15″ – 20″ in length that sits around your neck. They are worn close to your face attracting the eye to your face, and giving the illusion of a smaller chest. Fantastic, right? Ideally, a statement necklace should be paired with small, stud earrings. When too many large accessories are worn near the face, it’s distracting and not pleasing to the eye.
Advantages of a Statement Necklace
- Wear the same, simple earrings (I prefer diamond-like studs) everyday to allow for wearing a variety of statement necklaces!
- Pair your statement necklaces with a capsule wardrobe to give you multiple outfit styles with a simple closet.
- Travel is easy with statement necklaces. Wear simple pieces of clothing with fun, funky, chunky statement necklaces.
- Lastly, as a business owner, sometimes it’s difficult to start a conversation whether at a networking event, kids sporting event, work dinner, etc. After receiving a compliment on your large bling, start a conversation. Yay!
