How to Choose the Right Length Necklace
Share
Women have lots of standard options:
| LENGTH | STYLE | PLACEMENT | WORN BEST WITH ... |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 inches | Collar | Tightly around the neck | Open-neck clothing such as scoop necks, V-necks, off-the-shoulder and boatnecks |
| 16 inches | Choker | Tightly against base of throat | Almost everything |
| 18 inches | Princess | On the collarbone | Almost everything |
| 20 to 24 inches | Matinee | Between the collarbone and the bust | Great for both business and casual wear |
| 28 to 36 inches | Opera | On the bust or an inch or two below | High necklines and evening wear |
| 36 to 42 inches | Rope | Wrapped to sit on or just below the center of the bust | Elegant business and evening wear |
