Which necklace length will match your neckline varies. For many necklines, a princess-length necklace, which measures around 18 inches long, will work nicely. However, a necklace should generally hang above or below the neckline, so some tops and dresses will look better with longer or shorter necklaces. The best approach is to have necklaces of varying lengths in your collection so that you can try on different pieces to see what works best with individual outfits.
