How to choose the right type of necklace?

When it comes to fashion, a necklace can make all the difference. Whether you're dressing up for a party, heading to college, or just want to add a little sparkle to your everyday look, the right necklace can boost your confidence and complete your outfit perfectly. But with so many styles, lengths, and designs out there, how do you know which one to choose?

At Kots, we understand how important it is to wear jewelry that not only looks great but also lasts. That’s why we offer premium-quality, anti-tarnish fashion jewelry that keeps you shining day after day. In this guide, we’ll help you figure out how to choose the perfect necklace for your face shape, outfit, occasion, and personal style.

1. Know Your Face Shape

Just like certain hairstyles suit different face shapes, the same goes for necklaces.

• Round face: If your face is round, go for longer necklaces like a pendant or a Y-shaped chain. These help create the illusion of length and slimness.

• Oval face: Lucky you! Almost every necklace style suits an oval face. Try chokers or short chains to highlight your features.

• Heart-shaped face: To balance a broader forehead and a narrow chin, go for chokers or short statement necklaces that draw attention upward.

• Square face: Choose necklaces with curves or round pendants to soften your angular jawline.

2. Match It With Your Outfit

Necklaces can totally transform how your outfit looks. Think about the neckline of your top or dress when choosing a necklace:

• V-neck tops: Go for a pendant necklace that mirrors the V shape. It creates a nice, balanced look.

• Off-shoulder or strapless tops: Chokers or short statement necklaces work best, bringing focus to your neck and shoulders.

• Turtlenecks or high-neck tops: Try long chains or layered necklaces that add dimension to the outfit.

• Collared shirts: Button up and wear a bold statement piece over the collar, or unbutton slightly and let a delicate pendant peek through.

When in doubt, stand in front of a mirror and test different necklace styles with your outfit. It’s all about visual balance!

3. Choose the Right Length

Necklace length plays a major role in how the jewelry looks on you. Here's a quick guide:

• Choker (14-16 inches): Sits snugly around the neck. Great for highlighting your neck and collarbones. Best worn with off-shoulder or deep-neck outfits.

• Princess (18 inches): Falls around the collarbone. It’s the most common and versatile length — perfect for daily wear.

• Matinee (20-24 inches): Sits between the collarbone and bust. Works well with both formal and casual wear.

• Opera (28-36 inches): Long and elegant. You can wear it as a single strand or double it up for a layered look.

At Kots.in, you can find a wide range of necklace lengths so you’ll always have the right piece for any look.

4. Pick a Style That Reflects You

Your necklace should reflect your personality and the mood you’re in. Are you someone who likes minimal, elegant designs? Or do you love bold, colorful pieces?

Here are some popular styles to consider:

• Minimalist chains: Perfect for daily wear. Simple, delicate designs that go with everything.

• Layered necklaces: Add dimension to your look. Choose pre-layered sets or mix and match.

• Statement necklaces: Eye-catching and bold, these are perfect for parties or when you want to stand out.

• Pendants with meaning: Heart, moon, zodiac, or initials — these make your necklace feel more personal.

Whatever your vibe is, you’ll find something that suits you in our carefully curated Necklace Collection.

5. Think About the Occasion

Different occasions call for different jewelry.

• Everyday wear: Go for durable, lightweight pieces that won’t get in the way.

• College or work: Keep it stylish but simple — think gold-plated chains, small pendants, or minimal chokers.

• Parties or weddings: Bring out the bling! Statement pieces or layered necklaces work great here.

• Gifting: A necklace is a beautiful gift. Choose classic styles that are likely to match the person’s everyday outfits.

The best part? Kots offers anti-tarnish fashion jewelry, so you don’t have to worry about fading or discoloration — even with regular use!
