Question 9

How do you look good with a necklace?

Accepted Answer

To look good with a necklace, first choose one that matches the shape of the neckline of what you are wearing. For example, a curved necklace like a string of pearls can complement a scoop neck, while a lariat can beautifully fill in a V-neck. Next, consider the placement of the neckline, choosing a necklace that will hang above or below it rather than hitting right along it. The length and thickness of your neck should also influence your decision. Longer necklaces visually lengthen and narrow the neck, while shorter necklaces have the opposite effect. Finally, think about the occasion and the other jewelry you intend to wear. Bolder statement pieces can be balanced by more understated jewelry and vice versa, and many people prefer to reserve more dramatic jewelry looks for night and special occasions. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of necklaces.

Question 10

What do fake Louboutins look like?

Accepted Answer

Fake Louboutins often look similar to authentic shoes produced by the French luxury fashion house of Christian Louboutin until you inspect their details closely. Often, the soles provide clues. On replicas, the soles are frequently plastic or synthetic leather rather than the vibrant cherry red used for genuine red bottoms. Also, fakes may have noticeable glue marks where the sole joins the rest of the shoe. The logos on genuine soles are always embossed and should be in the correct font and deeply pressed into the leather. Printed logos, misspellings and shallow embossing usually indicate reproductions. If you're unsure about the authenticity of a particular pair of shoes, have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert evaluate them. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Christian Louboutin shoes.

What length necklace looks best?

Accepted Answer

What length necklace looks best depends on two main factors: your neck and what you're wearing.

What do Shaker cabinets look like?

Accepted Answer

What Shaker cabinets look like can be summed up with the word “box-like.” The doors on Shaker cabinetry have a standard rectangular shape and four defined squared-off corners.

While the “Shaker style” label is today given to many plain, simple wooden pieces, it should also denote superior construction and solid materials. Authentic Shaker cabinets were painstakingly crafted from woods like maple and cherry using traditional methods such as mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery and lathe turning.
