How your necklace dangles is very important. For those wearing a hijab, it is more important because too short it is invisible and too long makes it very awkward. Hence, this guide is for your convenience.
Collar (28-31 cm)
This necklace lies on the neck. It is made of
two or more strands. For an elegant and classy look, wear it V-neck
tops, boat neck or off the shoulder outfits. One reminder, if you have a
rounded face shape, or if your neck is short, don’t wear it or it makes
your face rounder or your neck shorter. It compliments an evening
look.
Choker (35-41 cm)
Lies just below the neckline. It
is made of single or multi strands. It can go with any outfit from
casual to fancy. Perfect for any time of day and occasion.
Princess (43-49 cm)
This
is a very popular necklace length. Great for crew, high and low
plunging necklines. This length is great for a pendant. Depending on
what you wear, a Princess necklace has a versatile length for both
daytime and evening. If you think about seasonality, this will also be a
good choice because you can wear it around a turtle neck in winter and
it will add an elegant touch to your outfit.
Matinee (50-61 cm)
These
necklaces sit right above your chest and are elegant for casual and
business dressing. It compliments a higher neckline. Just be careful
when wearing this type of necklace, make sure your outfit is not too
overpowering. You want either your outfit or your necklace to pop, not
both.
Opera (71-87 cm)
This is the most flexible necklace
length out of all lengths. Ideal for classic or casual attire. It works
with both high or crew necklines; and turtle neck in winter. A lot of
office ladies like this necklace length because they can wear it
differently during and after work.
Rope or Lariat (Over 110 cm)
A
minimum of 45 inches with clasps placed in strategic locations. You can
wear it as a single layer, double or even triple! As great as it
sounds, a Rope length is not for everyone, and it is one of those
make-or-break-your-outfit type of necklace
