How to Use Necklaces to Accent Up Your Best Features

Jewelry and accessories can accent your best features, drawing attention to those things you like best about yourself. Necklaces are especially helpful in bringing attention to your face. The right necklace can draw attention to your eyes, bring out your delicate and long neck, or even accent your cleavage. Build up a small jewelry wardrobe that you love because each piece makes you look your personal best.

Step 1
Take an honest look in the mirror, wearing a favorite top. Figure out which features are your best and if there is anything you would prefer to downplay.

Step 2
Consider the shape of your neck and jaw, your bustline and your overall skin tone and texture when choosing necklaces to accent your best features.

Step 3
Emphasize a long neck by choosing longer necklaces. Try bold bib style necklaces to draw attention to your neck. Draw the eye up toward the face with a choker or collar style necklace if you prefer to bring attention to your face rather than your neck.

Step 4
Use Y-shaped necklaces or bold pendants on simple chains to draw the eye to a pretty collarbone or cleavage. Flatter nearly any neck shape with these necklaces, especially if paired with a v-neck or scoop neck top.

Step 5
Wear necklaces collarbone length or shorter to draw the eye up toward your your face. Match the necklace to your eyes to bring out those baby blues or chocolate browns or add coordinating earrings to keep the focus on your pretty face. Choose necklaces in proportion with your body to accent up your best features.
