Justine, PLEASE make a video on us with glasses! what size and shape of earrings, necklaces and hair accessories looks best with glasses? I wear contacts sometimes but mostly glasses so a video on that how to style would be super interesting!! :))

[@JiaPia3]

I second this! Please hook us glasses wearing girls up!

[@clementinemonroe717]

YES DO ONE ON GLASSES AND JEWELRY

[@paraprincess93]

Oh yes! That's a great idea, please help us girls with glasses!!!

[@cherylstone7256]

Yes please because I've never had to wear glasses and now I do and I don't know what shape works best with my face

[@patriciafinelli1656]

Here in Brazil, women usually wear many jewelry at the same time - necklace, bracelets (sometimes more than one), rings (more than one) and earrings. Teenagers use several, but more delicate ones. Adults also use several, but heavier ones. The pieces are not always of the same material; silver is mixed with gold, with resin (of various colors), with straw, etc. I prefer to use two pieces: very small earrings with large necklace, or large earrings with large ring, or large earrings with medium strap. But my favorite piece is the big ring, which I find very fancy.

[@mauradias2862]

Hello, I am from Mozambique, South -East African Coast, here most of the women wear the african printed cloth around their waist like a long skirt, they usually match the fabric of the cloth with the head scarf )usually made from the exact same material)) we use the cloth to make earings, braclets and even cover shoes and hand bags, if one can not have earings or necklaces made in the same fabric as the clothes, then women tend to wear an earing that has the same dominant color as the printed fabric or stick to gold or silver colored jewellary, but in general..when we are not sure..we just match things.

[@karlimiles1287]

Can you post a picture :]

[@mariannaark5899]

All this boldness only compliments warm and dark skin colors. That's why Europeans developed a more discreet style, we'd look washed out in so much color. I love this style though and I try to get similar patterns in more neutral colors and use one bold, bright colored necklace. That's the most I can take with my pale yellowish skin.

[@shraddhanileshgosavi1842]

Great video Justine.. I loved the silver chain necklace a lot... I am from India.. Here, during festivals and occasions like weddings, women layer up the gold around their neck to show off everything they have at once.. especially in wedding ceremonies. Also, they tend to wear set of necklace, ear rings, bangles, rings, everything...... :) The married women here (including me) mostly wear a necklace called " Mangalsutra" indicating they are married; just like the engagement ring people wear in other countries. so most of the time we wear a separate necklace along with Mangalsutra. I loved your french wardrobe essentials video too. keep up good work :)

[@jaderawkins1946]

Shraddha Gosavi I found your comment so interesting. it's always nice to read about things from other cultures :)

[@marianaconstantinou127]

Jade Rawkins yes! Me too. That is what Justine also was encouraging us to do. Instead some of the comments went totally different direction like the foto camera noise 🙄

[@JG-lv1wq]

Shraddha Gosavi Hi , I am also from India and I mostly agree with what you said but now a days generally people who prefer to dress traditionally wear these cultural symbols. I am married but I do not wear any of these :) But to each his own .

[@pjalexandra]

Shraddha, that is so interesting. I live in Canada, but my husband was born Christian in South India, and at our wedding his family gave me a gold necklace with a small cross pendant that they call a 'minna' (not sure about the spelling!). I wasn't sure if that was a custom throughout India or only with Christians in Kerala. It is one of the few pieces of yellow gold jewelry that I own. I treasure it for the symbolism. There are 7 dots on it, representing the bride, the groom, both sets sets of parents, and 'holy spirit'. It is a simple beautiful piece that looks fantastic with the saris that I sometimes get to wear on special occasions.

[@freiherroishi7605]

Shraddha Gosavi and it looks stunning.

[@salmonlady1471]

Justine, I loved every single necklace you shared from your collection! I am a good 20+ years older than you, and a bit self conscious about my neck not being as firm and taught as it once was. Would appreciate your advice on styling necklaces on women who are 50 years and older. Some modifications from your video, may involve common sense, but any advice you can share from a French perspective, as it relates to your knowledge of the over 50 French woman, would be most appreciated. If you are ever in a position to style the over 50 year old European woman, and to share your styling endeavors, on your you tube channel, and or other social media platforms, I would be so appreciative. Lastly, I hope you are seriously considering publishing a style book. Your well organized and flawlessly executed you tube videos, would be well complemented by printed materials. You are a gifted methodologist, and I appreciate your conceptual thoughtfulness, along with your pragmatic and succinct approach to explaining why you recommend what you do. Would love a printed reference from you, so if I am pressed for time, I can review your recommendations, without returning to the specific you tube video. Hopefully, the printed materials, would also allow you to monetize and copyright/trademark your work. Realize your videos are already time consuming, but your strengths from your earlier business career, come through in your videos, and make you stand out in your impressive styling endeavors. Best wishes, Justine. Thank you for your hard work and passion. Your videos are helping me so much, as I review my strengths and challenges in my current styling journey.

[@reginahubschmied6966]

Salmonlady I totally agree with you on everything you said. I would love to hear for women 50+ and find a style book in print. I like to wear my indian style arrings from 30 years ago with just a ring. My favourite necklace was made new and up to date by a friend out of a necklace I found at a "puce".

[@lucianuncio]

Salmonlady: agree completely! Justine is such a mature, pedagogic and inspired stylist! I would love having a book written by her!

[@nebula402]

I'm about Justine's age, but I would still love a video on more "mature" styles. (But I'm sure she would say that any age can wear any style, which is true of course.)

[@lindas.1751]

I'm a "mature" 50 plus, and always find Justine relevant and interesting. I love wearing jewelry, though to be honest, I am not as doctrinaire about the lines of necklaces and clothing necklines as Justine. Often I think most of my pendant short necklaces work with v neck, boat neck, crew neck, scoop neck -- with lots of different lines. Like Justine, I prefer silver, especially, now that my hair is more silver! I have found that being diligent about using coconut oil on my neck helps a lot with how it looks. The only style of necklace I'm still hesitant about are chokers. Some of those work, usually the ones that have some heft to them. Others really don't look right, to me, except on young women. I don't know of many (any?) similar KZbinrs, regularly posting content, for our age group on fashion, at the moment. I keep watching for some though!

[@LauraPazzaglia]

I'm a "maturing" woman (45) with a sagging neck under my chin - I no longer have a jaw line and my cheeks also sag! I've found that a strong statement necklace and a bright lipstick takes all the attention off what I consider to be very unflattering signs of aging! : ) I'm looking forward to seeing what Justine recommends for us ladies -- the more tips the better!! Ciao from Italy!

[@nhpocahontas]

I'm in love with your Egyptian looking ethnic necklace. To die for!

[@dina.el-agder]

I totally agree with the part of having one gold necklace and wearing it daily rather than having a new plastic one every week.. well said Justine 👏

[@Shayri01]

Personally when I wear Indian outfits I always wear bangles, earrings and a bindi. In family weddings I go all out and wear heavy necklace, long earrings (a must for me, can skip the necklace but not the earrings), armlet, bangles, rings, teeka and payal (anklets). For casual wear, my usual style is statement earrings, a watch & a bracelet in right hand. With western party wear, I usually wear sleek earrings, bracelet and a statement ring. If I'm in a formal or somber setting than I go minimalistic with a dainty watch and stud earrings.

[@sewaldodiy]

I completely agree with you, I like to wear statement necklaces with plain t-shirts and if I wear it with a dress it is always contrasting color.

[@pearl9831]

Justine I just love your smile and your vibes! such a warm, sincerely smiley person! : ) xxx aggi

[@Jason49877]

Pearl I agree. She is so lovely

[@GlitterRose09]

I agree, she comes off so warm and friendly :)

[@rebeccaiop9061]

I didn't realize that I used to naturally follow these rules without knowing they exist. These confirms my own fashion style I have learned and improved over the years. Thanks for sharing

[@teresaheidemann147]

I love wearing two different earrings. My favorite combination is a sun and a moon. They are related but not the same. I think thats an very easy way to make an outfit more interesting. :)

[@muroojtahir697]

Miss Darcy I have a pair of earrings one is a lock and the other is key and I love them cause they make a statement while being a secret jock

[@os4305]

I LOVE doing that type of combo, especially with my statement earrings. NYFW, Milan Fashion Week And so many other fashion related events, when two earrings are worn together, it looks so effortless and chic. I thought I felt out by doing it...happy someone else shares the same styling tip.

[@opalruby13]

I love vintage costume jewellery, which I wear as Coco Chanel intended, carefully chosen to accessorise my outfit like a scarf or a pair of statement shoes. I have a few solid gold rings and some antique gold filled bracelets and lockets. But I also wear 1930s Bakelite, 1950s moonglow Lucite, Trifari necklaces and windup pendant watches from the1960s. I love it when people comment on my jewellery because they haven't seen anything like it before. Especially here in Australia; I get most of it online from the US.

[@jodyb1460]

Thank you for yet another great video. A side note, at the 5:18 mark you look absolutely STUNNING when you are tying the choker. :-) Like a beautiful model. It helps very much when you take the time to show your wardrobe and your jewelry (or any example like this) with live illustration. Your photo explanations are also VERY helpful. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring to a lot of people.

[@justineleconte]

+Jody B thank you so much, my Dear, you can't see it but I am blushing... 😅

[@jodyb1460]

You are most welcome!

[@susieroo9743]

My hubby and I take an international trip once a year usually. We live in the US. I love to pick up local jewelry items on our trips. They are always unique and remind me of our adventures.

[@TheGossipGays]

Justine, I am not a girl, but I find your videos mesmerizing, They are so well done and you are so friendly and engaging - U are the best TV of 2017.

[@ritamary72]

Justine, you said you are doing "market research" about what jewelry your viewers wear. I have worn only sterling silver jewelry for decades. I have thought for a long time that gold is too "flashy" on my very pale skin. Your video on skin tone confirmed that my choice is correct. My skin has a cool undertone. I always wear simple sterling silver earrings and a silver ring on each hand. On one hand I wear a larger ring with silver & a turquoise stone. On the other hand I wear a simple Celtic-style band. This is what a wear every day. Less is more, especially for me, approaching my seventh decade on earth. Thanks so much for your videos. I enjoy them a lot!

[@nataliamedeiros]

I wear earring EVERYDAY, I feel I look sick without them

[@sumatinautiyal1414]

Natália Medeiros I totally understand your comment coz m a complete “earring girl” too 😃 I choose my earring first and then my clothes for Everyday office at work 😆😆

[@AJ-jf2ui]

Samr here . I find without earrings I look drab. Earrings brings light to the face especially gold and gemstones.

[@ccadvisor489]

I love ethnic jewelry made by Romanian artists. The colors are beautiful. I agree that wearing less jewelry is more elegant. Thank you for your informative videos. I really enjoy them.

[@micaslaven-lamothe7196]

I grew up in NYC, lived in Paris as a teen and for the last 20 years, very rurally in Montana and Maine. My style reflects the Parisian coming of age, the edgey urban, the casual utilitarian rural, and my bohemian 1970's childhood. My favorite way to wear necklaces is what you mentioned - bold collar necklaces with crew necks. I like all metals equally, but I find that brass is my go-to style. It's rugged and glamorous at once. I do like to mix metals sometimes - very American. My favorite jewelry phase was when I had thrifted a series of brightly colored multi-strand resin and plastic necklaces and wore them with preppy plaid shirts. It was a charming way to get through the winter doldrums. But I love fine jewelry with casual menswear a lot - pearls or diamonds with a simple vneck sweater or oxford shirt are always great. I loved how the character in Julia and Me layered a pearl necklace with a gold chain with subway token charm every day. It was so wrong it was right, because she had short hair and a plain overall style: quirky but distinctive. My favorite things of all are rings with large green or blue stones, and gold necklaces with a coin or disc charm. I love to wear my grandmothers' which are real US gold coins, and a bit tacky but bold and VERY original. I like all types of jewelry equally,, and my style is to wear one piece for a week or more at a time and then switch, so I'm not accessorizing my outfits so much as I am playing on themes. When it comes to long necklaces, there are never good ones with blue or green stones. Long necklaces tend to be under- or overedesigned, and very cheap and "juniors" in style. It would be easy to own this underserved market niche. I totally agree that it's tacky to wear earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings at the same time. I hope this helps your research!!!

[@teresa7969]

Great video as always. I am from US and I agree with you LESS is MORE!! I to would rather have one really nice piece and be able to wear it with everything!!! thanks for all your class!!! XOXOX Teresa

[@andreamarshall5693]

Love love love your channel

[@shivangichaturvedi1543]

Absolutely love your content Justine!

[@jagodalotz3034]

I absolutely love what light does to your hair. It gives it more colour, a little texture and a bit of depth to the plan than in other videos.

[@jinaldedia]

I was searching for something like this for so long....a perfect guide about which necklace to be paired with which neckline....

[@justineleconte]

+Jinal Dedhia awesome! I am glad if it helps!

[@virgonvegan]

Off topic: I enjoyed your name that hat and was wondering if you would do a what's that trouser, regarding length, material, style. Thanks Justine! 😊

[@princessjulia5646]

BORING.

[@adriabanks240]

Not boring! Trousers are one of the hardest items! The fabric, the cut, even the pockets can draw attention to places you might not realize. Knowing where a specific style is supposed to break on the foot, or even if it's supposed to break on the foot, and which styles to avoid depending on body type... these are all important! Trousers are NOT boring!

[@virgonvegan]

Adria Banks Thank you! My point exactly; many factors to consider. 😊

[@kristicomashi9917]

I always look forward to see your coming videos, you helped me alot upgrading/refining my personal style. I admire you so much. Thank you Justine!

[@larahamilton2273]

I like to wear meaningful or symbolic jewelry that whispers it's secret to me all day...but is always chic!

[@carojestin]

Hi Justine, I'm french, on my 40´s, my wardrobe is limited and simple (except on summer holidays, anout just the opposite;)), and I love to style it up wit my jewelry. Everyday I would wear a ring (usually quite wide, about 1cm wide), but to style my cloths nothing better than my necklaces. A bit like you I like them big, or thin and long, or a bit "cascade", in warmer colors than yours, as per my skin tone I guess. I love semi-precious stones with their magnificent and subtle colors. I started wearing earings, but not the easiest thing for me (even if beautiful I often "feel them" a bit too much). In summertime, on a tanned skin, with colourful and fantastic outfits, I love wearing a bracelet, I have a magnificent one with aigues marines that is pure beauty ;)

[@journty]

another great video Justine!

[@michelestoop3025]

Journey Lucas yes, I love it too! I hope she will do more jewelry videos, like earrings 😇

[@thehighheelsholic4869]

your necklace collection is amazing 😍 each necklace is lovely 👌

[@meanylover07]

I love these French series videos!! I typically do earrings and a brooch, or just a necklace. Very minimal, but I'm also a big fan of retro/vintage pieces. Love my brooches. 😊

[@Loratube]

Would you please do a video on how to style a short neck? How to dress with a short neck? I barely have a neck. It throws off everything. I never look sleek and elegant when my head is practical sitting on my shoulders.

[@Chariots1981]

I would love that, too!

[@blue_pullover]

I wear minimal jewellery.. slim, dainty-looking chain necklaces or chokers with a thicker, but minimally decorated ring. earrings are just there to keep my earholes from growing shut.

[@so_cal_mom]

Love your channel Justine! I have learned so much from you!

[@melissaorantes9943]

I'm so glad I found your channel!! I'm loving the French series, I always learn something new and useful, tnank you for creating such great content! Love from Guatemala! :)

[@folded_pizza]

Could you build on this video with explaining age appropriate jewlery? I hardly ever wear necklaces (with the exception of chokers) because I feel like they make me look older (I'm 16). I much more prefer earrings and, in rare occasions, a bracelet.

[@raya1548]

Maria 03 yaa i think that would be so helpful

[@narrelleweir6383]

Maria 03 my granddaughter is the same age. She also wears minimal jewelry, instead she has multi coloured hair. Justine has a video with similar colours. My granddaughter has a long neck like Justine, so think I will buy similar pieces knowing they would suit.

[@emrambles7949]

Isn't looking older the goal when you're 16? ;)

[@folded_pizza]

Mimi Rambles nah, not really :-D

[@mai567]

Maria 03 When you're that young, big jewellery pieces look off. I'd stick to dainty necklaces, such as the one she showed where she changed a few pendants. A variation would be that same, shorter length with a few little decorations, like little flowers (check Accessorize), or if you like long necklaces, you can even wear them with a simple white or black loose t-shirt, but again it should be made of a thin chain and not too bulky pendant. Always think minimal. Hope that helps :)

[@anaisthomas5553]

Earings earings earings ans earings are definitly m'y favorite. I can go out without make Up but never without earing.

[@itskahini3311]

YESSS!!!! FINALLY a jewellery video ...... waiting for this and amazing video ...💖💖💖

[@chamberpaint]

Lovely. Great advice. Loved that rope necklace.

[@julielucky24]

I love your videos

[@lauraflores467]

great video! about your question. I am from México and I wear small gold earings and I dont take them off no even to do to bed. For everyday I also wear a small golden watch my mother gave me in my prom. A thin bracelet in the other hand. only in special ocations i wear necklaces or rings. I dont like noisy jewelery, I go for very beautifull and small details, usually gifts or meaningful for me.

[@sofiar16]

I am from Mexico too! and here it's actually very common going to bed with your earings on and never taking them off jaja

[@wills3rdgirl]

Laura Flores me three! Viva México! 😂 I used to sleep and take showers with my earrings on too until I took them off one day and lost the screw thingy 😥 as for the style, I sometimes don't have time to use anything so I don't, but I like things that are cute but not too bold, sometimes rings with the shape of a panda or a gold necklace with stars and moons all over. Cutesy stuff. Love your channel Justine

[@cristianelucaski9190]

Girls I am Brazilian, but I do the same of you guys : I use just one small gold earing for every day and night.

[@Kibenwa]

Oh! I have that exact cross pendant in purple! Love your videos Justine, well researched and informative as always. :)

[@lisahannah5097]

I love your chanel! I wear my jewelry pretty much the way you do. I feel like i am showing off if i put on too much. Thank you so much!

[@tussilein2012]

Such a cool and informative video, thank u. For your market research i'd say: i think i must be french, bc i only use what my mother or my grandmother gave me and that in special ocasions such as weddings, receptions or a day where i don't feel like using any make up, then i will wear earings. BUT if you ever decide to make a collection w rope or stoff, let me know!

[@justineleconte]

+tussilein2012 hehehe 😉

[@anjalis1357]

Very informative and amazing! I love your videos very very much!❤❤ To answer your question- I'm from India and I love chunky bohemian jewellery very much. It blends well with Indo-western outfits a lot. I prefer chunky necklaces over any thing else. Lots of love from India❤

[@TheThriftyChica]

I wear small stud earrings daily. You mentioned following a less is more rule with jewelry, and I agree. I love a statement necklace, so the rest of my jewelry tends to be more simple. For instance, today I wore a statement bracelet, my wedding ring, and small stud earrings. I love all of your necklace choices for the video!

[@susanmcmeekin4766]

I believe I am a bit of a parakeet, as I am so attracted to the sparkle and shine of necklaces and earrings. I actually prefer the look of a statement necklace to that of a scarf. I loved that you included the cameo, as it gave be inspiration to wear my mother's antique pearl circle pin on a chain necklace! Thank you for the information about proportion and the inspiration! Your channel is the best I have seen!

[@sahilchhabra9005]

WOW😍

[@justineleconte]

+Sahil Chhabra I think you are first, today 😉

[@sahilchhabra9005]

Justine Leconte officiel Yeah I am glad to be😀

[@simplymilla]

I love earrings, can't leave the house if I'm not wearing them, feel bare, incomplete. I like pearls, classic studs and brilliants (mine are very tiny). I wear only silver or white gold because I'm 100% a cool toned person. Re. necklaces I totally agree with you on every single point, the French ways seems also to be the Italian way :-) I fancy necklaces as well but not as much as earrings, and with them I'm more daring: I can also sport ethnic stuff and more eye catching pieces. Earrings give light and luminosity to my complexion, they do wonders, like a tiny amount of makeup, that's why I plan on investing on a decently sized pair of brilliants for my lobes.

[@susanholl5994]

simplymilla I'm the same. Wear simple smallish earrings every day, usually silver. Also wear my wedding ring every day which is platinum, gold and diamond, simple and classic. If I have on a very plain shirt or blouse I might wear a necklace, but if I do earrings are very simple. Here is the US we have a trend towards what my mother would have called "costume jewelry", which has plated rather than solid metals, plastic beads and colored pieces (example Bauble Bar), and I hope this trend dies quickly. If costs as much or more than Sterling silver and looks like cheap junk to me.

[@vanessaglenda]

simplymilla I'm the same! I always carry a pair of earrings in a pillbox in my purse - sometimes if I'm in a hurry or late I forget to put on some earrings and I have my emergency pair (which is just a dainty gold bar - minimalist and geometric style)

[@lindas.1751]

Smart idea, VG G! I love earrings too, and have quite a collection of mostly costume ones, with a small collection of fine jewelry earrings. I'm wearing rings a lot more too, nowadays. I'm in the US. I don't do matchy-matchy at all! I DO like metals to match, unless I'm intentionally mixing metals that day.

[@KFG721]

For the past five years or so my jewelry has been a bare minimum: watch, cuff, earrings on occasion. I found that I wore the same pieces over and over again. Silver, some gold, some stones. I would like to add a few statement pieces to enhance my wardrobe and I loved all of the pieces that you model in this video. Merci!

[@yasel2713]

your videos are so informative and pleasant to watch, thank you Justine!

[@topaznora2055]

I have olive/grey/green undertones I have no idea how to dress for that. I am neither cool nor warm toned. could you make a video specifically for olive undertones. PLEEEEEEEASE!!

[@Tengounsecreto231]

danny lee yes! This would be great!

[@woofiedog7452]

Olive skinned people have a cool undertone, surprisingly!

[@jefffoor9653]

Do you haven an opinion on pearl necklaces? You didn't mention them in the video. When are they appropriate to wear?

[@pianocatkatarina3960]

ALWAYS :-D no, seriously...I think they are feminine, sexy and classy in any length.

[@Marie-oy1bd]

I, too, was going to ask about pearls. Lately I keep seeing beautiful pearl necklaces, long, short, doubled and tripled, sometimes with a beautiful sparkly clasp, others with a blush velvet tie, and other times with a bit of gunmetal chain. I want to pile them all on a la Coco Chanel, but with a t-shirt, jeans, and heels or booties. What do you think Justine and friends? Help! (PS I have an hourglass figure....14).

[@pennPi]

I love pearls! I tend to wear my short pearl necklace with a crew neck light grey sweatshirt. And I'll wear my drop pearl earrings with a pretty dress and no other jewelry.

[@lauraloveleyy8639]

Glea Foor honestly I think pearl necklaces don't go with anything casual like shorts, jeans, basic t shirts. I feel like they're more for nicer occasions. Maybe like a meeting at work, a nice dinner, wedding, funeral, etc. Or if you're just dressing up nice one day. And I think they go best on their own. A pearl necklace, some simple earrings, and maybe a simple ring or bracelet. But that's just how I would style them!

[@almatoledo1608]

Glea Foor I threw out all pearl traditional rules. i now know life is only 3 minutes and I have so much jewelry to enjoy ¡!

[@greenwillow5404]

Thank you for this video! So well done.! Absolutely loved it.💕 You asked for our jewelry wearing preferences , so here goes. Love classic necklaces (pearls, delicate gold chains, crystal beads, Florentine millefleur strands ). Nothing too chunky. Occasionally wear one bracelet if it matches my necklace. Love Victorian vintage pieces. As for earrings like to wear diamond studs, any kind of pearls . Crazy about fun, dangly costume earrings. As for rings just wear my wedding ring and anniversary band on one hand and my engagement ring on the other. Never any other rings.

[@raspberryblood]

Totally in love with your necklace collection! Great video :)

[@eileenfb1948]

I too will not wear a full set of jewellery. Just two items max. from UK

[@India.H]

I'm from the UK as well and I only partially agree with you! I think it depends not just on what jewellery you're wearing, but also how your hair is as well. I have long hair and generally wear dangly earrings. If I have my hair up in, for example, a bun and some earrings in, I won't wear any other jewellery apart from my watch. But if I have my hair down and my earrings are hidden slightly, I'll probably wear a long necklace as well.

[@Besbes94]

In my Arabian countries we're more interested in wearing gold heavily. Earrings, necklace, multiple rings are worn at the same time, it is a sign of wealth and good taste. But modern girls are more into accessories. Still gold is a must for prides and traditional clothing.

[@handbagparfait]

Great video. I haven't worn necklaces in a long time (because I usually wear scarves) but now I'm feeling inspired for some summer necklaces.

[@belledesoiree8344]

Statement necklaces and chokers are amazing

[@Kotyk_Murkotyk]

I like to wear Russian/Ukrainian gerdans on one color collarless shirts without any other jewelry pieces.

[@forisma]

No to the sound of 📷, it's a bit disturbing.

[@justineleconte]

+Harshali Rele, yes, I liked it too, and for the same reason. +Justine, this was really helpful; this is an area I'm really not good at and as a result, although I like necklaces, I almost never wear them. Now I have at least some ideas to work with so thank you! xo

[@annambugaj]

forisma, you're not the only one :)

[@babs5968]

Merci Justine, another great video with lots of information. I really look forward to sitting down with a cup of tea on a Wedsnesday and a Sunday afternoon and watching your latest video. Bxx

[@ladyesther]

I am liking the French style very much. Thank you.

[@ericathefae]

[@moumitadeb9337]

Excellent tips Justine ! 👍

[@TheTopaz60]

Hi Justine, yes I completely agree with you about styling on the whole , classic simple and uncluttered always works.....not too much jewellery at once as well. Lovely styling concepts . Love your presentation , very fresh and elegant, you have very good taste and ideas. Many thanks for your shares and love French style on the whole, timeless quality vs quantity.

[@lucybonomo2606]

Love you video's. Happy to see I have been following this way of wearing necklaces and I am not French.

[@eddystrauss1453]

I love Justine very informative .

[@kchez110]

I really needed this video. I had no idea how to pair necklaces with necklines.

[@neysarodriguez9622]

Love your videos! I tend to use more dainty necklaces now that I’m older but I do like a chunky or a bib necklace from time to time.

[@gailbemrose248]

My go to necklace most of the time is a long chain with a simple "time piece" on it. I have a silver one and a gold one. Love them.

[@soniabiesa4701]

Nice advice about this topic. it helps me a lot! Thank you

[@zosmavideos4891]

Thank you so much for this guide! I've had many problems with pairing my many necklaces with different outfits and now I can return to this when I need to. A similar video of accessory rings would be nice too. Love your channel!

[@SJaye-zv9er]

Oh my goodness, that waterfall necklace! _swoon_

[@stinseythengampallil3026]

I love the purple v-neck shirt, what beautiful shade of purple!!!!

[@Anna57646]

I love you're statement quality over quantity. I wish more Americans understood this is classy.

[@CM-pb7yw]

Love this video! I always have wondered about what is best for necklace length. I am large busted and am a full figure woman. I tend to wear my necklaces longer hoping that this helps to lengthen me in some way but I do love the statement necklaces too...what a wonderful way to add contrast to an outfit. Thank you Justine! 💕

[@gabby5509]

Hi my name is Anee 32 yr from Pakistan. M following you and almost watched every video from you and I really admire you. After following you I think every time I get new ideas styling sense. Thanks alot

[@barbaratomorowitz8535]

Justine, I have recommended your videos to several of my friends. As always your information is great, straightforward and fun. I have a statement necklace that is actually five different necklaces together with beads in clear glass, some resin, silver and a piece of turquoise. I wear it sometimes daily with just some "diamond" studs. It dresses up a simple tee shirt, a plain white long sleeve shirt, many of my dresses. It is THE piece with which I travel. The other piece I have is a pearl necklace that I wear with pearl and diamond earrings. With only those two pieces, I am prepared for anything. Every woman should have pearls. Keep up the good work.

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

I live in US and totally agree. Big necklace, small earrings. That way they don’t compete and you don’t look like you’re trying too hard. Love your French perspective and your classic style.

[@redrumax]

Thanks for this, Justine, you confirmed me I am wearing everything properly because I already wear them as you suggested in this vid. Makes sense proportion wise.

[@justineleconte]

+redrumax very well 😉😊

[@ibtissemhammar5993]

Love all your ideas.thanks a lot

[@irmadennington2773]

So classy, I love it!

[@Helena-ge6yg]

I love the ethnic statement necklace, so pretty! :)

[@shirleyncesar]

Great styling video, as usual! I style my necklaces in much the same way. New thing I learned...match necklace with my eyes. Very cool concept, I will try this. Thanks!

[@karentumbel9211]

love your content!!!

[@saifai]

I love hearing your thoughts on jewelry and how to wear it. I wear necklaces, earrings, and bracelets most often. Usually I'll wear them if I'm meeting with friends in a casual setting (like shopping), at church, dinner dates, or other special events. At a fancier event I might add more pieces such as a brooch, or rings.

[@Heatherzhany]

I always learn something new from each of your video.

[@RebelPickle]

I don't wear necklaces very often. I prefer medium-to-large size earrings and/or a statement ring. I also prefer to pair earrings to a larger bracelet or cuff. Justine - I really enjoy your videos. You give smart advice in a straight-forward and good-natured way. Well done.

[@YessikaMarmol]

Loved it!

[@melisahernandez569]

Hello I agree with you less is more I always wear a watch and tiny stud earrings. Love your videos

[@quelita8862]

Today I went to buy some clothes, you helped me a lot: I know my undertone, the cuts and material of the clothes thanks to your videos. And this one will also help me. Thank you Justine you made my life better.

[@urgirlej]

very informative thank you I don't like wearing jewellery a lot but when I do I keep it simple for example a ring with simple earing or just extravagant necklace with nothing else .. love from Tunisia

[@immortalazure]

Love all your videos. I have a massive collection of earrings, so favour those to wear most, will wear necklaces on special occasions. would like to wear rings more.
