Necklace Length Guide

Choosing the Perfect Necklace Length

Finding the right necklace length can enhance your look and complement your style. Use this guide to determine the best length for your necklaces.

Standard Necklace Lengths

Understanding the standard necklace lengths can help you choose the right one for your outfit and neckline.

  1. Use a String: Cut a piece of string to the desired necklace length.
  2. Place It Around Your Neck: Wrap the string around your neck, allowing it to hang naturally.
  3. Mark and Measure: Mark where the string meets, then measure it with a ruler to find the length.

Choosing the right necklace length for your neckline can enhance your overall look.

  • Collar and Choker (14″ – 16″): Best with open-neck tops, V-necks, scoop necks, and off-the-shoulder styles.
  • Princess (18″): Perfect for almost any neckline; a versatile choice.
  • Matinee (20″ – 22″): Works well with high necklines, button-down shirts, and business attire.
  • Opera (24″ – 30″): Complements evening wear, turtlenecks, and high collars; great for layering.
  • Rope (36″ – 48″): Ideal for adding drama to simple tops and dresses; can be styled in various ways.

Layering necklaces of different lengths can create a chic, personalized look. Follow these tips for perfect layering:

  • Mix Lengths: Combine necklaces of varying lengths for a balanced look.
  • Vary Styles: Mix different styles, such as chains, pendants, and beads.
  • Balance Weight: Pair delicate pieces with more substantial ones to create contrast.
