Fashion how-to:NecklinesandAccessoriesto
FlatteryourFaceShapeByBriannaVenekamp
Becoming aware of what necklines flatter your unique face shape can mean the difference
between creating a look that flatters or flops!
Square FacesTend to have equal width through the brow, cheekbones and jawline.
Scalloped collars, round, scoop, or V-necks, all soften square faces, as do hoop and other curve-style earrings.
Circle FacesNeed necklines to elongate the face, so
V-necks and square necklines work best.Necklaces and earrings should do the
same. Look for contrasting shapes, single pendants, or bead strands, and earrings in thin, delicate strands, or chandelier style.
Triangle FacesHave a strong, distinctive jawline, giv-
ing the lower part of the face more width. Shirts with collars, necklines with scal-loped edges, sweetheart necklines, and V-necks all flatter a strong jawline.
Avoid jewelry that comes to a point; instead opt for oval or circular earrings and curved necklaces.
Diamond FacesRequire high collars to offer framing.
Pair with smaller drop-earrings or studs for a balanced look.Necklaces are a must-have accessory for diamond-shaped faces; try
layering styles to accentuate your neckline or chokers to frame your face.
Heart FacesHave a delicate chin and wider cheekbones. Off-the shoulder,
turtlenecks, cowl-neck, sweetheart, and scoop necklines are flattering choices.
Scarves are also a great accessory for you.
Oblong FacesAre flattered by boat necks, off-the-shoulder necklines and strapless
tops. Bold-statement earrings are ideal, or try wide chandelier styles.
Oval FacesAre the most versatile shape because they are considered perfectly
balanced.Oval pairs best with plunging necklines, strapless, and spaghetti
straps, and hoop earrings, chandeliers or teardrops also compliment your face beautifully.

“We were ready for some heat after alongwinter,” saystrishGrouzis ofSiouxFalls, so her family chose the Caribbeanfor vacation. “The six-night, three-islandcruisehaddestinationsthatatleasteachofuswanted,andafew‘atsea’days,whichwedesiredaswell,”shesays.
