Choosing Jewellery Styles for the Oblong Shaped Face
With a wide variety of styles available, it’s important that the jewellery you choose to wear reflect these elements in their shapes and styles (especially with pieces that are worn close to the face).
Necklaces
A necklace is one of the most expressive pieces of jewellery worn. It can frame the face; draw attention to specific features (depending upon the length, size and style chosen), and accentuate personal style. With a wide range of styles, shapes, sizes, materials and colours available, wearing a necklace is a great way to complete a look. Below are a few basic tips to keep in mind when choosing jewellery for an oblong facial shape.
WEAR
Any choker and high collar styles. They work very well in breaking up the vertical line created by the oblong face; and are the most flattering styles. The fullness of a choker also helps to balance out your narrow jaw-line.
Princess styles (they are flattering).
AVOID
Opera length or longer necklaces of any style (especially if you have a long neck).
Very small pearl, stones and delicate pieces that tend to lessen the visual weight in your neck area (unless you have a full neck). They will also accentuate your narrow chin.
Earrings
With so many different shapes and styles of earrings available: ovals, buttons, drop chandeliers, hoops, studs, posts, squares, diamonds, triangles, and hearts (just to name a few) the choices seem to be endless! That’s why it’s important to choose styles, shapes and sizes that both compliment your facial shape and accentuate your personal style. Always keep mind that the larger the earrings, the more noticeable they are. Therefore the types of earrings that you choose to wear have a direct impact on your overall appearance. This could have the potential of bringing out your best features, or pointing out your flaws. Earrings are worn so closely to the face, that they’re often considered to be one of the most important accessories. They have the ability to reflect light and flattering colour onto your face. The following are a few suggestions to help you choose the best type of earring styles and shapes for you.
WEAR
Most shapes, but button earrings look the best. They help to draw the eye horizontally and create the illusion of width.
AVOID
Dangle and droop earrings that create the illusion of more length.
The most important thing to remember when choosing jewellery for yourself is that you must feel comfortable. Whichever types of styles you choose to wear, always make sure that your unique personality is able to shine through; and that you feel confident, beautiful and at ease. Style is important, but do not put it above your own personal comfort. Always keep in mind that if you don’t feel comfortable with yourself, nothing else really matters.
Everyone has a personal style. The above guidelines are solely meant to enhance your overall appearance, and help you to look your personal best. At first they may seem to be restrictive and challenging to follow. This may be true, especially if you’re trying to create a specific look. However necklaces and earrings that have basic curves and angles are simple and uncomplicated. These pieces are also classic and timeless. Because of their practicality, they can be made adaptable to almost any style. Complicated shapes and free-flowing designs are quite often made to be worn with very specific styles. They also tend to be associated with trendy looks. Fads or trends follow a certain timeline. If these types of styles are what you prefer to wear, and you feel confident and beautiful in them; then they are the right style choices for your personality. However it’s also important to keep in mind that once a trend runs its’ natural course, it disappears. Then another fad comes along, until it is replaced once again.
Depending upon your lifestyle and personal image, sometimes living simple is best. Once you’ve experimented with various shapes and styles, you’ll find that by investing in good quality pieces that suit your natural features and personality; they’ll also stand the test of time. This will greatly help you to enhance your wardrobe and provide you with a variety of suitable pieces to wear for years to come.
