Share
Alright, my metal mavens, let’s talk about necklaces! We all know the right necklace can make or break an outfit. Whether you’re a fan of stacking them up like you’re about to storm the stage or keeping it simple with a statement piece, there’s a length for every vibe. Let’s break down the most popular necklace lengths for women and how to slay with each one. And yes, we’ve got a handy chart for all you visual learners.
**14-inch necklaces**
Ah, the choker. If you’re into that ‘90s grunge or punk queen look, this is your go-to. A choker hugs your neck like a clingy ex, but in a good way. Pair it with an open neckline—think strapless, sweetheart, or a fierce V-neck—to really show it off. You want all eyes on that neck, so let it breathe!
**16-inch necklaces**
Sitting pretty at the base of your throat, these collar necklaces hang out around your clavicle, adding a touch of elegance to any ensemble. An off-the-shoulder top is a killer match for this length, leaving you looking like you just stepped off a fashion runway—or a stage, if that’s more your speed.
**18-inch necklaces**
The Princess length—because, let’s be honest, we’re all royalty in our own right. This is the most versatile length, falling just below the collarbone, perfect for just about any neckline. It’s a layering superstar, so mix and match to your heart’s content. Just remember: more is more!
**20 - 24-inch necklaces**
Known as the Matinee length, these bad boys hang between your collarbone and bust, depending on how you roll. This length is perfect for a layered look, adding some depth to your stack game. Whether you’re wearing a low-cut top or something more covered, a Matinee necklace adds that extra edge.
**24 - 30-inch necklaces**
Meet the Opera length. No, we’re not breaking out into song (unless you want to), but this length will have you feeling like a diva. Resting on or just below the bust, these necklaces are perfect for layering or standing solo. They work with almost any neckline, so go ahead and experiment!
**36 - 42-inch necklaces**
And finally, the Rope length. For those of you who like to go big or go home, this one’s for you. Whether you double it up or let it hang down to your navel, this length is all about drama. Perfect for a layered look that screams “I’m here, and I mean business!”
So, there you have it. Whatever your style, there’s a necklace length to match. Keep experimenting, keep layering, and most importantly, keep rocking on. 🤘
