How to Wear a Pearl Necklace
A pearl necklace works with almost anything, if you get the length right. Wear the wrong one with the wrong neckline and even a beautiful necklace can look a little off. Here is how the classic lengths work, and which ones actually suit which necklines.
Pearl Necklace Lengths and Uses
There are different ways of wearing pearl necklaces according to their size and length. We have listed the most common and popular ones for you:
- Choker: These necklaces fit tightly around the neck and pair perfectly with open-necked outfits and strapless dresses.
- Princess: This length ends just below the collarbone. A classic, it works equally well for daily wear and for special occasions.
- Matinee: This length falls to chest level. It works well for formal events and fancy dresses, but it is not really suited to daily outfits.
- Opera: This length hangs below the bust line, and it pairs beautifully with flamboyant dresses and special evening wear.
How to Prefer Pearl Necklace According to Collar Type?
As with every necklace, you should choose a pearl necklace in accordance with the neckline of your outfit. While princess or matinee length necklaces can be preferred with V-neck outfits, you can combine round neck outfits and strapless dresses with chokers or short length pearl necklaces. For turtleneck outfits, opera-style pearl necklaces are the ideal length.
