The sautoir or "matinée necklace": from 50 cm to 70 cm
The sautoir is a necklace particularly suited for round faces or women who have "no neck." Its length creates the illusion of a longer torso. However, all sautoir or longer necklaces should be avoided by women with long, slender necks. The sautoir sits at the top of the bust, which it will highlight.
The little fashion tip :
The sautoir dresses up chunky sweaters or turtlenecks as well as elegant and chic outfits like suits or dresses. It is a necklace suitable for special occasions. It pairs wonderfully with strapless tops and cowl necks. For more fun, don’t hesitate to play with layering.
The opera: from 70 cm to 90 cm
The opera necklace suits all body types except women with long, slender necks. Like the sautoir necklace, it can enhance both casual and chic outfits. It also lengthens the neck and highlights the chest.
The little fashion tip :
It is perfect with low-cut clothing. From V-necks to deep plunging necklines, it enhances them all! Its name also indicates that it is the ideal necklace for special evening occasions. It looks stunning on a long evening gown. It draws attention to the neckline and the center of the bust.
The rope: 90 cm and up
The rope necklace suits all body types but especially round faces and curvy women. It is not recommended for women with long, slender necks or tall, slim women because it tends to elongate the silhouette.
The little fashion tip :
The rope necklace gives a vintage touch to an outfit. It is also an elegant accessory. It can be worn layered with other necklaces. It pairs well with tunics and long dresses or men's shirt dresses. The rope necklace draws attention to the hips.
