1. The plunging v-neck
Look for longer necklaces that fill the V, but make sure that the chain is not so long as to get caught in your cleavage! The pendant should end at least 5cm above the V.
If you have a wider v-nock try paring it with multiple length layered pendants or a chunkier more V shaped statement piece.

2. The crew neck
The crew neck is ideal for multiple styles to match your necklace to your neckline depending on the look you are going for. For a bold statement try a chunky necklace that sits on or just below the neckline.
A long chain with a large pendant serves for either a fun casual look or an elegant statement. For a classic and fun try multi-strand statement pieces which break up your higher neckline.
Last but certainly not least your classic pearls will go perfectly on or just below your crew neck. Bring out your inner Audrey Hepburn!

When you are wearing a classic shirt collar to match you necklace to your neckline you have a variety of options.

Looking for a cool and casual style? Choose a chunky chain or rope style that can be worn with open buttons or over the shirt for a closed buttoned look.
If an elegant stand out option is what you crave, pair a plain shirt in classic white with a mid-width (approximately 2cm) patterned necklace such as silver leaves with no pendant.
