Straight necklines are ideal for those who have a statement piece they want to show off. The clean line is basically a blank canvas. However, if your dress is embroidered, beaded, or has other showy components, you may opt for a less complicated necklace, such as a plain <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/summer-accessories\/\">gold chain<\/a>, a diamond or <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/organize-jewelry\/\">pearl pendant<\/a>, or a single colored stone such as a ruby, emerald or sapphire. Also note that the straight neckline is one of the few cases when you can get away with crossing the line, and edgier brides may opt for a long necklace that hit mid-bust or even lower.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweetheart\"><\/span>Sweetheart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another top pick for brides, the sweetheart is an absolute classic. Because of the emphasis on the neck and bust, any necklace that follows this line is ideal. When it comes to the shape of the stones and the necklace, curves are preferable to sharp angles, and lengthy chains or pearl ropes that go over the fabric are best avoided. An elegant pearl strand or even a choker are also top picks for this shape.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409007855\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-2.jpg\" width=\"847\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-2.jpg 847w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-2-331x500.jpg 331w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-2-794x1200.jpg 794w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-2-768x1161.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"V-Neck\"><\/span>V-Neck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Similar to the sweetheart yet distinct, a V-neck is the sportier of the two. The key here is to fill up the space without letting it get too busy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scoop_Neck\"><\/span>Scoop Neck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Curved and wide, scoop necks are wonderful for showcasing a special necklace. Multi-strand, statement, and unique <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/vintage-family-heirlooms\/\">heirlooms<\/a> are all excellent choices. Again, necklaces that cross the neckline should be avoided. Chokers, tiny pendants and delicate chains are less than optimal as they leave too much \u2018blank\u2019 space.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boatneck\"><\/span>Boatneck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>High yet wide, a boatneck (sometimes called \u2018bateau\u2019) requires special care when selecting a necklace. Pick one that is short enough that it steers clear of the dress\u2019s neckline. Another alternative is to skip the necklace and focus on a pair of sparkly earrings instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Off-Shoulder\"><\/span>Off-Shoulder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Off-shoulder styles can sit right at the shoulder, or far lower. A <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/pearl-jewelry\/\">choker or pendant<\/a> are ideal for this style.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Square\"><\/span>Square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A square neckline is very strong on its own and requires little adornment. Perfect for those who prefer a minimalist style, a delicate pendant or chain are all you need. Again, it is best that the necklace not cross the neckline because it can actually make you appear shorter, not a look many brides are aiming for.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asymmetrical\"><\/span>Asymmetrical<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Asymmetrical necklines create the illusion of broader shoulders as they draw the eye up and away from the torso and hips. The best options for this style are chokers, collars, and pendants that stay above the neckline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Halter\"><\/span>Halter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Flattering, supportive and sexy, it\u2019s no wonder halters are a popular choice for bridal gowns. A choker or short pendant are a couple of options here, but should only be worn if there is enough space to not interfere with the shape of the halter. Statement earrings and a sparkling bracelet or arm cuff are <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/wedding-details\/\">alternative jewelry<\/a> options for halters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Illusion\"><\/span>Illusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The delicate nature of the fabric used to create an illusion neckline makes a necklace unadvisable in this case. Instead, focus on statement earrings, and, if arms are bare, a lovely bracelet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409007856\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3.jpg\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3.jpg 853w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/unnamed-file-3-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High\"><\/span>High<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yet another option for brides who would rather not have to stress about a necklace, a high neckline is best left unadorned.
