How to choose a necklace according to the shape of your neck?

Choosing a necklace may seem simple, but for it to enhance your style, it is essential to choose it according to the shape of your neck . A well-suited piece of jewelry will highlight your posture and harmonize your look. Find out here how to choose the perfect necklace according to the shape and length of your neck!

1. Understand the morphology of your neck

Before choosing your necklace, identify the shape and length of your neck:

• Short neck : it appears wider and less elongated.
• Long neck : it is slender with a pronounced head carriage.
• Standard neck : proportionate, neither too short nor too long.

2. What necklace for a short neck?

If you have a short neck , the goal is to visually lengthen it:

✅ Long necklaces (50 cm and more) : long necklaces and chains create a vertical line that slims the neck.
✅ Thin and discreet pendants : they draw the eye downwards.
✅ V-shapes : perfect for lengthening the silhouette.

❌ Avoid: Choker necklaces and thick chokers, which shorten the neck even more.

3. Which necklace for a long neck?

With a long neck , the goal is to add volume:

✅ Choker necklaces (35-40 cm) : Chokers highlight the length of the neck without accentuating it.
✅ Bulky necklaces : pearls, large or multi-row links balance the silhouette.
✅ Short pendants : they refocus attention.

❌ To avoid: chains that are too long which will make the neck look even longer.

4. Which collar for a standard neck?

If your neck has balanced proportions , good news: you can wear almost any style!

✅ Choker for a trendy look , long necklaces for a bohemian style or mid-length necklaces for versatility.
✅ Mix lengths : layer multiple necklaces for a modern effect.

5. Adapt your necklace to the shape of your face

The choice of necklace also depends on the shape of the face:

• Round face : prefer long necklaces to lengthen features.
• Long face : opt for chokers or short necklaces.
• Oval face : lucky you! All styles suit you.

6. The right necklace for the occasion

• Everyday : fine chains and discreet pendants.
• For an evening : statement or multi-row necklaces.
• At work : sobriety with elegant mid-length necklaces.
