How to Accessorize a V-neck Dress?
A V neckline dress flaunts the neck the most.
Some may prefer to leave it bare, others may want to draw more attention there. Necklaces and earrings can draw attention in the right direction.
Let’s know about the accessories you can pair up with a V neck dress.
Necklace
While the neck is the focal point for a V-neckline, a necklace can enhance that or dull it down.
Therefore, not all necklaces work and you need to specifically look into the ones that will.
In order to find the best necklace, you need to match the angle of the neck.
For instance go for one stone hanging pendant.
Or you can go for a long beaded drop chain that will have a streamlined angular shape.
Both of these will enhance the focus on the neck and neckline while not taking away from it.
On the other hand, if you wear a round choker, a short beaded statement pieces, they will draw the attention to the necklace rather than your neck and the dress.
It will not resemble the V-neck shape of the dress and will take away from it rather than accentuating your neckline.
Earrings
The V-neck looks the best when all the attention is on the neckline.
For that, it is best to pair it up with earrings instead.
Any earrings will go with it but if you are not wearing any necklace, going for dangling and sparkly earrings is a better fit.
This also depends on how loud or muted your dress is.
Plus, the accessories also need to match each other.
If your necklace is colorful and flashy, the earrings should be muted and vice versa.
Styling a Deep Neckline Dress
A deep V-neck dress is risky and bold.
You need to carry it with confidence and style.
However, before you set out to wear it for your event, you need to do some preparation beforehand.
Choosing the right undergarment
It is absolutely necessary to choose the right undergarment to wear under a plunging V neckline.
The first thing to remember is your figure as well as the comfort level.
Choose an undergarment that plunges in the front as deeply as the dress.
You can use stick on silicone ones or beast petals to provide you enough coverage.
However, wearing an undergarment beneath it may also be option for a very deep neckline.
Use Dress Tape
Even if you do not wear an undergarment or do wear one, you should certainly use a dress tape.
This is especially important if you will be moving around a lot.
Exfoliate and Moisturize
With a deep V-neck dress you will definitely be showing some skin and decolletage.
For that, your skin needs to be healthy and even looking.
Exfoliate your skin properly before wearing the dress.
Use sugar scrubs, loofah and sponge for removing the dead skin cells and getting a cleaner, healthier looking skin.
Remember to moisturize the skin after you are done exfoliating.
Be confident in your posture
If you are wearing a deep V-neck, you will naturally need some confidence alongwith it.
If you do not carry it well and confidently
Stand up straight with your shoulders back and your head up.
Even if you accessorize well, exfoliate your skin and use a dress tape, the V-neck dress will gap in the wrong places if your posture isn’t correct.
Thus, carry the dress confidently and with the right posture.
