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.

By Margaret Pennock

“I love this job and that’s why I’ve never left,

but I also think I would have found something in

teaching high school students that would have

made me happy too. You just have to look

for happiness. You make the choices

yourself to make yourself happy.”
