We women come in different shapes. With clothing, we can cover up the flaws of our bodies and highlight their good features.Our jewelry is also a great attention grabber - it can direct others' eyes to our best features. Earrings draw attention to the face. Necklaces draw attention to the face, neck, chest, and even the waist, depending on the length of the jewelry. Rings and bracelets once again draw the viewer's attention to the hands.
5 body types (X, H, O A, and Y)
- X-type (hourglass) shoulders and hips are clearly wider than the waist. This body type has traditionally been considered the most beautiful.
- H-type (rectangle) is straight-bodied. Shoulders and hips are in the same line, the difference between the waist and hips is very small.
- O-type (apple) has roundness especially in the belly, hips, and buttocks. Often, the breasts are also large.
- A-type (pear) is clearly narrower at the upper body than at the hips.
- The Y-type (cone) has a shoulder and/or chest circumference that is wider than the hips.
Body type has the greatest impact on choosing a necklace.
If you are a slim, medium-sized woman without any major problem areas, various types of jewelry will suit you well, and you can choose a piece based on your mood. If you have problem areas on your body (who doesn't?), it's worth taking a moment to consider your body type when choosing a necklace, highlighting your best features while downplaying your problem areas.
1. X-body type (hourglass): Highlight your beautiful curves with a necklace
You are in the fortunate position to use various necklaces quite freely. Your X-type body doesn't need to hide any specific area or highlight another. The necklace that falls to the décolletage suits you wonderfully, but you can also highlight your beautiful shapes by drawing attention to your waist area. This can be done easily, for example, by using long necklaces that reach the waist.
2. H-body type (rectangle): Use necklaces to create an illusion of shapes
Since your H-body type is straight and boxy, your challenge is to create the illusion of femininity and curves. A pearl necklace with a pendant suits you perfectly, as the resulting V-shape distracts the eye from a boxy appearance. The V-shaped necklace also works wonderfully. Feminine, delicate jewelry also enhances femininity.
3. O-body type (apple): Highlight your beautiful décolletage area
As an O-type, you should emphasize the beautiful décolletage area of your body. Use necklaces, such as a pearl necklace, that hang beautifully over the collarbone. A necklace should not constrict the neck, but it should also not hang over the breasts. A good idea is also to use a necklace with a pendant, where the necklace and pendant together form a V-shape, making your neck look longer. Avoid long necklaces, as they draw the viewer's attention to the stomach area.
4. A-body type (pear): Capture attention to your upper body with stunning jewelry
As a type A, the most optimal choice for you is to wear jewelry that captures attention to your upper body, making your bust appear larger. Sufficiently large, décolleté-dropping necklaces are well-suited for you. An example of a massive yet lightweight piece of jewelry is a double pearl necklace. Avoid details that sit on the hips, such as long necklaces that reach the waist.
5. Y-body type (cone): Draw attention to your midsection with jewelry
As a Y-type, you should balance your body proportions by wearing longer jewelry, such as a long chain and a large pendant that reaches below the bust. The jewelry acts as a focal point, drawing attention to your midsection. Smaller, more delicate, short necklaces also suit you well. However, use them, for example, inside a collared shirt.
