A bold necklace is the quickest way to upgrade an outfit. The piece must be stylish, not too gaudy, and versatile enough for both business lunches and after-work drinks.
Top Pick: Pearl cluster bib necklaces ( A reinvention of the classic pearl strand, the chain-mail bib meshes muted tones and subtle sparkle. This necklace adds a hefty dose of shine to an otherwise simple outfit. It looks equally polished when you're in the office, wooing clients, or out on the town—no matter what the season.
Basic rules on how to wear a bold necklace to the officeRule 1: Wear a solid-colored clothing, a monochromatic and simple business suit or shift dress is ideal. Avoid prints and stripes, as these are distracting.
Rule 2: Choose the right neckline. As its for the office, don't pair it with anything low-cut; you're better off wearing a classic scoop-neck shirt. Generally it works with most necklines, as long as the lines of the garments are simple and clean.
Rule 3: Keep all other jewelry to a minimum, wear only the bare necessities in rings, bracelets, and earrings. The necklace is the focal point of your outfit, and adding more bold jewelry will look too flashy for the office.
Rule 4: Pair with a casual outfit. You'll probably feel more comfortable if the rest of your outfit is understated and monochromatic so that you don't wind up looking overdressed. A simple bib necklace without too much glitter can look beautiful for daytime.
