After my post the other day on how to accessorize a long neck, I was asked how do you figure out if you have a long, short or average neck length, so I made this short video to show you.
It all comes down to your hand! And it’s important you use your hand as it relates to your overall body scale.

Here are some tips on dressing your neck no matter it’s length or width
I just have to say I think having a long neck is a sign of beauty. Think of the classic beauty of Audrey Hepburn for instance. Long necks are… in my opinion, swan like, and elegant. I am all for enhancing my beauty, trying to make my small eyes look bigger, or my bigger middle, look smaller but I got to admit, I strut my long neck with pride. 🙂
I think you’re very right! I’m also proud of my long neck (9 fingers actually). Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. 🙂
Mine is 7 finger
People have always commented on how long my neck is… I just wanted to confirm it, I guess… 9 fingers 🙂
Definitely long!
Given that people have different hand sizes/widths, is there a more standard method of measuring neck length?
It’s related to your own body scale – and is just a general guide – there are a bunch of proportional measurements based on your own body, such as your foot being a long as your forearm between elbow and wrist, and that you’re as tall as outstretched arms from fingertip to fingertip.
