How to Wear a Statement Necklace
Statement necklaces are typically large necklaces that stand out. They “make a statement.” Of course you want that statement to be a good one. It is important to wear the right statement necklace with the right outfit.
First make sure you choose the right statement necklace for you. Just because a necklace is big does not mean that it will work for every person. Try on the different offerings in the stores. It can be too big, especially if you are a small person. You want something that will compliment your look, not completely take it over.
You also want to consider whether you are looking for something that is fine jewelry or something that is more of a costume piece. A fine jewelry statement piece will generally be expensive, but it may make you stand out greatly and can be a signature piece for you. Many people can’t afford a genuine statement piece, and there are many beautiful costume jewelry pieces.
Once you have found the statement piece you want then you need to pair it with an outfit. You want the outfit to go well with the statement necklace. If the outfit makes too much of a statement itself, then adding the necklace might go beyond a statement and simply be too much. For instance, if you have a large crystal statement necklace and then put on a shirt with beads and rhinestones and a lot of other embellishments then the entire package might simply be too busy. If they match perfectly then it may or may not work depending on how everything looks together.
If, on the other hand, you wear your statement necklace with a more simple dress or outfit, then the statement necklace will really stand out. It will be like the subject on the background of your dress, calling attention to itself in a positive way.
It can be difficult to judge how a statement necklace is going to look with a certain outfit. If you are specifically looking for something to go with an outfit, then consider wearing that outfit while shopping for your necklace.
Make sure that the statement necklace does not clash with the outfit. It should not have two colors that do not look good together.
You can wear other chunky or large pieces of jewelry with the statement necklace. This can give a cohesive look.
A statement necklace can make you stand out. Look at the different options when making your choice.
