YOUR BEST GUIDE ON EARRINGS FOR WOMEN

Earrings are arguably the oldest form of adornments for women. They have evolved from hoops to studs to statement pieces over the years. With several options to choose from, earrings for women are the easiest, most fuss-free options to look put together. Perfectly matched earrings can emphasise natural beauty and not only will a good pair of earrings enhance the outfit you wear, but they can also enhance your face shape and other features. As simple as earrings might sound, the vast variety of choices and styles might sometimes overwhelm a lot of people.

The fashion world divides the face into several types: oval, round, rectangular, square, heart-shaped and diamond-shaped. Earrings should be chosen with taking the face shape into consideration. The general rule is to buy the shape of the earrings exactly opposite to the face shape. A carefully chosen pair of earrings can also make your face look slimmer or rounder depending on the look that you are going for. The type of occasion should also be kept in mind while choosing the pair of earrings to match your outfit since every style of earring may not be appropriate for every occasion. If work wear calls for a formal, laid-back look, a simple stud should suffice. For date night, why not try something more stated like a tassel or chandelier. Other factors like hair, make up and neckline are all part of the equation, so make sure your earring choice is complementary.

Let’s look at the key type of earrings and the best way to pair them.

1. Stud Earrings

Stud earrings are the most versatile type of earrings since they are usually on the small side. Earrings with a simple stone between prongs are a classic form of studs. They’re a good example of elegance and laconism. These earrings pair with virtually any outfit and are especially a great pick for formal wear where it can be tricky to pick the right pair of earrings.

2. Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings, as the name suggests, are shaped like hoops. They loop from the front of the ear to the back and are typically circular in shape but also come in a variety of shapes like triangle, square, rectangle, etc. These type of earrings pair well with casual as well as dressy casual outfits. A small hoop is great for an understated look while bigger hoops tend to give a more dramatic look.

3. Drops and Danglers

Drops and danglers are two types that hang down below the earlobe with the primary difference being that danglers usually have more movement than drops. Drops can be paired with formal or smart casual looks and danglers can be paired with dressier outfits for evenings out.

3. Chandelier Earrings

Chandelier earrings are also a type of danglers. They are named so because they look like a chandelier and can have multiple layers like an ornate chandelier. They are supposedly the most luxurious kind of earrings and look great paired with evening gowns.

4. Ear Climbers

Quite the opposite of drops and danglers, these earrings start at the earlobe and climb upwards instead of dropping downwards and are a newer trend in the realm of earrings. They are usually understated and can be paired with casual outfits.

To conclude, different styles of earrings can be paired with different outfits. It is a good idea to match the colour of your earrings to the colours of your outfits. They can easily elevate your outfits without looking overdone and it is a good idea to keep a couple pieces of each style to have a choice the next time you’re in a fix.
