How Long Is That Necklace? Posted: March 31, 2023 @ 6:06 am |
Recently, I wrote an article titled "Time for a New Chain, But Which One to Buy?" in which I discussed the various options available for purchasing a new chain necklace. Several kinds of chains were analyzed for their performance and longevity. The length of these necklaces was not addressed.Dress Codes for NecklacesWhat length of a necklace will look best with your existing wardrobe? A necklace between 16 and 36 inches in length, for instance, would look great with a turtleneck sweater. A 14-inch necklace may work, too, though this will depend on the thickness of the yarn. Because there are so many variations in blouse necklines, precise measurements are very important. Neckwear and BlousesA little turquoise necklace will be OK next to your skin if you wear a V-neck blouse that buttons in front. The necklace length can be adjusted to 14–16 inches. The maximum length that can be used is 20 inches, but this varies with the depth of the V at the neckline. Above 20 inches means you have to decide between wearing it within the collar and next to your skin, or outside the collar and next to your skin. They may still be displayed either above or below the collar. Close-fitting round necklines can be found in a multitude of sizes, from 14 inches to 36 inches. Several chains or a mix of chains and beads might also look fantastic on them. Discover your signature lookSee how many of your tops, blouses, and sweaters you already own that can be worn with each necklace length. See here what necklace length complements your existing jewelry. Many necklaces of varying lengths will be necessary. Choose a few necessities first. Make your choice between a 14- or 16-inch necklace. Choose a medium-length neckline (between 18 and 24 inches) and a long-length neckline (between 24 and 36 inches) from your other options. This necklace collection will serve as your foundation. Other necklaces of the same or contrasting length can be added to this foundational wardrobe at a later date. Buying Something On The WebThese days, a lot of us use the internet to do our shopping. Very practical. You can do your teatime shopping at three in the morning if you like. That's a lot more convenient than the alternative, which is to go to the mall, walk from store to store, and maybe, just maybe, end up with what we're looking for. Clicking around online makes it easy to visit multiple retailers. Sound sluggish? Perhaps, but it beats working twice as hard. But what is the ideal length of the necklace for you? Where on my body will that length be most noticeable? I know what you're thinking: "I don't have a measuring tape, and a 12" ruler isn't going to help me very much." However, there is a third option. In search of it on GoogleYou can find a chart of necklace chains by searching for "chart of necklace chains" on Google or any other search engine, and then looking at the resulting pictures of men's and women's bodies. Each chain will be displayed alongside a length, so you can estimate where it will fall on your body. Many charts depict various necklines, so you can see how the chain will interact with open necklines, turtlenecks, and little shirts with tiny straps over the shoulder. Necklace sizes are listed for the "average" woman, so if you are a little larger than normal, add an inch or two to the listed size, and if you are as tiny as most skinny models, consider cutting this typical size down a touch.
