High neck dresses: how to accessorise them

High neck dresses are the epitome of chic – perfect for when you're wanting to look sophisticated at a glamorous event. However, it can be tricky to decide how to accessorise in order to avoid a clashing of lines. Clearly a choker is a no-no, and if your hair is scraped back in an updo to focus on the neckline you might be inclined to go for a statement drop earring, but how on earth to navigate the necklace?

Luckily, Hello! Fashion has looked to some of our favourite celebrity style moments in order to inspire you on how to accessorise a high neck dress.

Matching stud earrings

Sofia Carson attended the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards earlier this month in a monochrome striped gown by Iris van Herpen. She opted for a statement stud earring which nodded to the pattern of her dress and tied the whole look together. Often with high neck dresses people tend to wear their hair slicked back off their face, but we love Sofia's sleek side parting and think it complements the drama of her dress perfectly.
