Some necklines are made for necklaces, some are made for earrings only. When a neckline has some sort of embellishment like these, then there is no need to add more. These necklines are ideal for women who:
- Have wide or short necks who don’t want to add necklaces
- Find wearing necklaces annoying or irritating
- Don’t like accessorizing (or are unsure of how to do it) as they have built in accessories.

So if you don’t like accessorizing, or can’t be bothered to wear a necklace, or just aren’t sure what works – then why not look for an embellished neckline like one of these examples – no fuss required!

I’m sure I’ve got a short neck. This relieves me of feeling like I’m permanently under-dressing. It takes time to learn to trust your own sense of proportion. I very rarely see myself in a necklace and think – that’s an improvement. I don’t usually look at embellished necklines, thank you for pointing them out!
Other options to consider if you have a short neck are larger earrings and brooches instead!
Absolutely agree. I have a lot of tops with embellished necks and always limit my necklace to one or none and since I wear big earrings they make up for it.
Besides, if you layer on necklaces you’re bound to lose a bead or crystal from your top from the rubbing.
