Necklaces

16-inch choker sits at the base of the neck. 18-inch (most versatile) sits on the collarbone. 20-22 inch pendant hangs below the collarbone, works with higher necklines. 24-30 inches for layering. Consider your neckline, V-necks pair with pendants, crew necks with shorter chains.

Different lengths (at least 5cm apart) and varying chain thicknesses. Start with a short, fine chain and add progressively longer, slightly bolder pieces. Wearing over clothing reduces tangling. Many brands now sell pre-layered sets designed to hang without tangling. A necklace separator clip also works brilliantly.

A simple gold or silver pendant on an 18-inch chain, works with everything from tees to evening dresses. Fine chain with a small disc or bar pendant is timeless. Choose a metal that complements your skin tone: warm tones suit gold, cool suit silver, neutral works with both. Our Style Finder colour analysis can help with this.
