How To Choose Earrings That Make You Look Great!

By Cherry Lucia

Earrings are the most commonly worn fashion accessory, but did you know that by choosing the right ones you can not only make your outfit stand out, but make sure you look your best every day! There are so many different styles of earrings available in all colours, shapes and sizes, so how can you be sure to always choose the right pair?

Face shape

The easiest way to choose your perfect style is to look at your face shape. You should try and choose earrings that are opposite to the features of your face.

For example, if you have a round face, choose earrings that will add length and contain angles. Keep clear of small stud earrings and drop earrings with rounded shapes. When wearing stud earring, choose bold angular shapes.

Heart shaped faces will suit dangling earrings with tear drop or chandelier shape as these will even out the tapering of the chin. Earrings with curves, rather than angular earrings will work well.

Square face shapes suit many different types of earrings, however you should avoid long straight earrings as these will accentuate the shape of your face and elongate your jaw line. Rounded earrings and earrings with curved features will look good on a square face.

Oval face shapes suit most earrings, however be careful with long earrings that are wide at the bottom, this will take the eye away from the face and may over power any necklace that you are wearing. These beautiful earrings are not too long and contain stunning hand painted detail to attract attention.

Size and shape

 With chandelier or long dangling earrings, be careful that they don't reach your shoulder as this will make your neck appear shorter. Taller people are able to wear longer styles because of the wider space between their ear and shoulder. If you are tall, you will need to choose a pair that don't get lost in the space between your lobes and your shoulders. Larger drop earrings, ones with a wider mass (in the style to suit your face shape) or larger hoops will all look good on taller people.

Fashion Accessories and your outfit

Make sure that you are only wearing one statement piece at any time. If you have a stunning necklace on, it's not a good idea to also wear extremely eye catching earrings as the eye will be drawn between the two and not focus on any particular piece of jewellery, which will defeat the object of showing off your statement piece!

Another consideration is how you will wear your hair. If your earrings will be hidden behind long hair, you should try to choose bright colours and a bit of sparkle or shine. Glimpses of the earrings through your hair will add a bit of mystery to your outfit and will automatically draw they eye to that area. people will notice your earrings because they will need a few double-takes to work out what is causing the flashes of colour or sparkle.

If you want your earrings to draw attention, try wearing styles that have bright colours within the design, or contain crystal elements which will sparkle in the light and draw the eye towards them.
