How To Shop For Jewel-Neck Dresses

A bare-shouldered, high-necked dress is one of the best. Here are some rules for finding the best ones;

The neckline should graze the collarbone. This dress is all about the contrast of bare shoulders and arms with a really prim neckline. But if it sits too high, it can sort of feel like choking you.

Pick soft, flowy fabrics like crepe de chine, silk, and chiffon which are lightweight and have a nice amount of movement - anything stiff or structured will come off as overly preppy.

Choose accessories such as long necklaces. It's nice to look at it with piles of chains or ethnic-inspired beads which result to a bohemian-look, effortless elegance :).
