Adding a statement – Long necklace is an easy way to completely change the look of an outfit in seconds. Following are a few tips for you to try!

Upgrade a Simple Outfit

Nothing can be more comfy, yet chic than a relaxed top combined with a trendy necklace. Effortlessly spice up your favourite pair of jeans and top, change the look from day to night by adding one long necklace with a tassel hanging off of it.

Pop of Color

Use a colorful statement necklace to brighten up your neutral outfits. Adding a bright colored necklace can completely change a bland look into a funky one! Contrasting jewelry can go a long way!

Geometric Chains

Not every necklace needs to be large and in charge! If you don’t think you are ready to rock a statement piece, go for a long, thin necklace to elongate your torso and still be the key feature of your outfit.

Keep It Proportional

It might seem overkill to wear a statement necklace with other accessories, but it can turn out to be a perfect look if done properly. Pair up small and subtle earrings with a pendant style necklace to keep the focus on the statement piece. 

Go Monochromatic

Coordinating your dress and jewelry makes you look polished and helps the outfit come together. If you have a specific color scheme, try and choose a necklace that matches the color palette.

Pearl Necklaces for an Elegant Style

Nothing has stood the test of time more than pearls, they don’t ever go out of fashion. Long pearl necklaces are great to wear with dressy outfits for an elegant and sophisticated look.

Mix and Match

If the necklace is very colorful, big in size or detailed make sure that your outfit is simple and single colored. Don’t mix and match too many colors and details, especially when going to work because you don’t want to look tacky.

Less Can Be More

If the neckline of a top or dress is really detailed and covers most of your chest, think about skipping the necklace. However, you can always opt for some statement earrings to still create an accessorised look.

In short, long necklaces are a powerful accessory in many ways and what I love the most is the visual punch they add to any outfit. I have had so many people stop me and comment on my necklaces over the years. They really are a conversation starter and we never know where the conversation may end!
