Earrings are among the most timeless pieces you can have in your jewelry box. Whether you prefer statement earrings or delicate ones, the right pair of luxury earrings can transform any outfit from plain to show-stopping.
But how to choose the right pair of earrings for each outfit?
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing the right pair of earrings for an outfit:
Occasion
First, consider where you’re going. If you’re just running to the store for groceries, skip the ornate, priceless statement earrings. Instead, opt for something subtle yet elegant, like timeless pearl earrings or dainty hoops.
If you’re attending a fancy dinner or party, bring out the sparkle! Diamonds are always a great choice, as diamond earrings come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you prefer discreet earrings or extravagant ones, you can find the perfect pair of diamond earrings for you.
Weather
It might sound unusual, but the weather can influence your choice of earrings. In winter, when you’re wearing a chunky scarf, it’s best to go for minimal designs like studs or huggies. In contrast, big hoops or long drop earrings are perfect for complementing the lightweight clothes we wear during summer.
Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean long drop earrings are the best choice for a day at the beach!
Colors
When selecting earrings, consider the colors in your outfit. While a little black dress pairs well with everything, not every outfit does. While classic diamond studs are always a safe choice, for a more daring look, try matching the colors of your outfit and earrings.
Another great tip is to match the color of the gemstone to the color of your eyes for an impactful effect, especially if you’re going for a design with gemstones.
Silhouette
Consider some key points about your outfit before selecting your earrings, like the silhouette and fit of your clothes. If you’re wearing a high neckline, choose small yet dazzling earrings to draw attention to your face. Conversely, long earrings complement lower necklines better.
If you’re wearing an oversized, baggy outfit and want to accentuate that look, choose big earrings – chandelier earrings are a great option! If you’re wearing tight, figure-hugging clothes, you can either balance the look with a statement earring or go the opposite direction with a daintier pair.
Hair length
The shorter your hair, the more your earrings stand out. With a pixie cut, hoops are a great choice. For a bolder look, try tassel earrings!
Bob cuts pair well with both small and big earrings, but drops look especially stunning with this hairstyle. For a chic and fashionable look, choose drop earrings that are approximately the same length as your hair.
Other accessories
Now that you’ve considered the occasion, colors, and hair length, think about the other accessories you plan to wear before choosing the perfect pair of earrings.
Make one accessory the statement piece and complement it with others. Pair big hoops with a dainty necklace, or match a bold necklace with small drop earrings for a stylish look.
Statement
Finally, consider the statement you want to make. For a classic and timeless look, pearl earrings or diamond studs are perfect. If you prefer a minimalist look, a small hoop is a great choice. For a glamorous style, opt for a colorful gemstone like sapphire or topaz.
Remember, these guidelines are not strict rules, so feel free to have fun experimenting with new earring styles and matching them to your outfits!
