One-shoulder dresses are a great option for showcasing beautifully sculpted shoulders. The uneven neckline means you should steer clear of a necklace, but you can play up this dress silhouette with an eye-catching pair of drop or chandelier earrings like Emily Ratajkowski in her sexy two-tone one-shoulder red carpet look above.

Dresses with a halter neckline are a great pick if you’re looking for a bit more coverage in the chest area. Rather than accessorize this dress style with a necklace, take a cue from Allison Williams and opt for a pair of statement studs or a gorgeous bracelet. You can even get away with both if you choose a bracelet that’s not too flashy, like a simple tennis bracelet.

Lots of women–including Black Panther star Danai Gurira–love to show off their décolletage in strapless dresses and for good reason; it’s a very flattering look. Strapless dresses beg to be accessorized with a sparkling collar-style or choker necklace that doesn’t hang too low. Just a hint of twinkle around your neck can totally take your strapless dress to the next level.

Last but not least, a layered necklace is the perfect pick for a dress with a V-neck. Opt for something light and delicate a la Rihanna in the photo above so it doesn’t distract from your gown.
