So today I wanted to make a video on
accessories, specifically necklaces. Necklaces
are something that can make a statement in your look or in your wardrobe and
it's also something that adds interest, adds something unique to your look. So
I definitely recommend any kind of accessories not just necklaces but a lot of
people like to wear them and people ask me all the time what body shapes suit
what necklaces and how can you make your shoulders appear narrower or your bust
appear bigger, your bust appear smaller and those are all things that actually
can be solved with something really simple like a necklace, believe it or not.
So I'm going to show you how you can do that,
a lot of girls with a smaller bust ask me how can they make their chest look
bigger with the clothes they wear and it actually is possible by using a short
chunky necklace like one of these. This one which is from hot Miami styles and
this is just made up of lots and lots of strands of beads. And this when you
add it to a like a low-cut top or any kind of top that is very simple.
This is going to make a statement to your look
but it's also going to add some embellishment and some padding to your upper
body, so it's going to give the illusion that you have a bigger bust. This one
this will have the same exact effect and likewise with these short chunky ones,
I would stay away from them if you have a really big bust or if you are like an
apple shape. So you don't want to look top-heavy you want to balance at your
shape. Here's another turquoise one and this one isn't so bad like this could
be okay if you have a bigger bust, just be careful if you have broad shoulders
because the smaller the necklace, the broader your shoulders are going to look.
This is another one that was given to me by a
friend and this again is a really good option for you if you have a small
chest, especially if you are pear-shaped. So if you're bigger on bottom then
you are on top and you want to balance out your frame and give the illusion of
like a proportion of body shape, so like an hourglass or something like that.
You could just throw on one of these and it's definitely going to add volume to
your upper body and it's going to balance it out really nicely.
So moving on if you have a big bust or wide
shoulders, you want to not parade that area at all, so you don't want anything
really short or really chunky up there, because you don't want to add volume to
it and make your top look a lot bigger. So I suggest going with a long necklace
like this, one that's going to totally elongate your frame and elongate your
upper body as well. So that's really good if you have a short torso or if you
have like a problematic midsection or anything like that, this is going to
create a vertical line and it's going to really make your upper body appear
thinner.
So this is from St Tropez, it's really pretty
and then I also have, if you like chunky jewellery, chunky necklaces and feel
like you can't wear them because you have a bigger upper body, that's fine you
can still wear chunky jewellery, just keep it long. This is from vero moda and
you can tell it's really chunky beads and I like to wear this a lot actually
and it really brightens up like a collared shirt. I think that looks really
good and just add this to any look and I think it's long enough for somebody
with a bigger bust to pull off and I have something like this, which is kind of
chunky on bottom and thinner on top.
This would look really good too, this is from
secret conquest, also have this for you pretty one from asos. I love this
because it's got ribbons and like a chain detail in it and again this will look
really good and really flattering if you have a bigger upper body. I also have
this beaded one and it's really long and this is from a boutique in Blackheath
in London and this one I like because if you do like the shorter styles, but
you have a bigger bust, there's a solution, you don't have to avoid them
completely because obviously there are no rules in fashion and you can do
whatever you want and dress whatever way makes you feel good.
I'm going to show you a simple solution if
you, like me, like the shorts, the short chunky style but you have a bigger
bust and I don't have like a really big one but, so how to do, so what I do is
I just double it and have one short and one kind of long. So it looks like
that, but it kind of gives the illusion that it has long half short and chunky
and it's good for you if you have bigger buss because it's not going to make
you look really top heavy or anything like that and it's still a nice detail to
a plain shirt.
This here is a choker and this is from monsuno
accessories, I mean sorry, so it looks like that and I definitely wouldn't
suggest chokers for anyone with broad shoulders, because it makes your
shoulders look broader, so stay away from them if you do. Otherwise if you've
got narrow shoulders by all means wear chokers if that's your style. I hope
this video helped you guys determine which necklaces suit which body shapes and
I will talk to you in my next one, bye.
