Earrings were the first known form of jewelry. They have evolved significantly since their predecessor. From simple circular earrings to studs, ear wires and earrings. You might say it's a simple piece of jewelry, and yet you need some knowledge of how to navigate the nuances of fashion when wearing earrings. Every woman who decides to complement her outfit with this accessory must choose not only the style or type of earrings, but also the stones and metal in which they will be set, and often also the pendant or necklace with which they should match.

Although many fashion experts advise you to follow your heart and your own style when choosing earrings, it is worth knowing a few rules that you should follow when choosing earrings in order to best emphasize our beauty and personality. It's a bit like glasses. You can choose any you like, but we won't look good in all of them. Here are a few rules!

Consider the occasion for which you want the earrings

If you are going to the office, it is better to choose earrings with precious stones, preferably simple studs or circles. However, if you want to impress on an evening date, why not choose something more ornate and eye-catching, such as tassels or long earrings with gemstones or semi-precious stones? But in that case, remember to carefully choose the rest of the jewelry. The main thing is not to overdo it with too many decorations, which can easily sound even kitschy.

Let the earrings reflect your personality

It may seem like a truth, but it is not always so obvious. The jewelry we wear should reflect our personality! Sometimes we try to deceive ourselves and buy something extra for a special occasion that doesn't suit us at all. How many of us have such extra pieces in our jewelry box that we have never worn?

If you are a simple, modest person, then it is better to choose simple sticks that do not attract excessive attention, which you would not be able to cope with. If you are more familiar with the classic style, you will probably look good in rings, studs, clips with pearls or diamonds. If you are a creative person, you will probably like modern earrings or long earrings, or with an open ear wire. Or maybe you are still a romantic? In that case, you will probably feel good in floral motifs or hearts.

Choose earrings for your face

One of the main factors in deciding whether earrings will suit you or not is the contour of your face. Just like glasses, earrings can make your face look thin, wide or elongated. In short, better or not. Of course, it is about choosing earrings that emphasize your beauty, not the other way around. Earrings can not only hide imperfections of the face, but also emphasize certain features of our beauty. 

For example, models of earrings focused on the ears themselves - studs or small models - will highlight the eyes. The longer ones, on the other hand, emphasize the shape of the jaw. In particular, earrings with precious stones give the face a brightening effect.

  • Tear-shaped earrings or hanging chandeliers should be worn to balance a triangular face, i.e. a face with the widest part and the narrowest part being the chin. People with an oval face have the widest selection. They can wear almost any type of earrings.
  • If you have an oval shape and want to emphasize your classic accent, choose long teardrop earrings or long decorative earrings. Triangles and sticks also perfectly emphasize your cheekbones.
  • People with a round face have the widest part at the cheekbones. To slim this area, ladies with this face shape should avoid large, round earrings, all kinds of circles and round studs, which further emphasize the roundness of their face. To cover it up, it is better to choose long dangling decorative earrings.
  • If you have an elongated and slim face, choose earrings that cover the length. For example, choose ornate dangling earrings with lots of stones or dangling short round earrings, rings, or studs that widen your face in perspective. If you like long dangling earrings, choose the ones with a round shape.
  • If you have wide square jawbones, you can cover them with round or oval earrings. Large circles will look great on you in particular. However, avoid wearing square or diamond-shaped earrings.
  • A diamond-shaped contour is a face where the cheekbones are clearly defined and the forehead and chin are noticeably narrower than the rest of the face. You can emphasize your original face contour by wearing long dangling arched and circular earrings. Avoid wearing diamond-shaped earrings.

Choose earrings for your face contour

Yes, the contours of the face also matter. Have you ever wondered why your friend is so beautiful in those fashionable tassels? And when you borrowed them, they didn't look so dazzling anymore? Probably because you have different face contours. It's mainly about the cheekbones. If you have clear cheekbones, such as Sharon Stone or Meryl Streep, choose delicate, slim, flat earrings. Round and thick ones would cover your face. If you have contours of moderate sharpness, such as Madonna or Teri Hatcher, choose earrings of medium size and weight. But if you have a face with wide, blurred contours, you can afford medium-sized, but also really heavy or even thick earrings.

Adjusting skin tone

As with lipstick or clothing, earrings should match your skin tone. This mainly concerns the metal from which the earrings will be made. If your skin tone is warm, gold or copper will look better on you. If you are wearing, for example, blue or pink make-up, silver will work better with it. In general, gold is recommended for people with darker skin and silver is more suitable for people with white skin.

Suitable for hairstyle

The last savoir-vivre element of earring fashion is matching earrings to the hairstyle. Matching or not can add an amazing effect to the whole or completely spoil the entire effect of the hairstyle and clothing.

  • Loose hair can completely cover the earrings. If you want a normal, everyday look, sticks are enough for you. However, if you want a more spectacular experience, choose earrings with precious stones. A pair of earrings in the ear should also impress.
  • By combing your hair into a bun, the earrings will be visible. Long dangling earrings or rings with such a hairstyle will definitely make an impression.
  • Women with short hair look fantastic with earrings, because the hair does not cover the earrings in any way. A combination of a jacket and earrings or decent earrings with precious stones, especially diamonds or crystals, will look great with short hair.
  • Shoulder-length hair blends nicely with shoulder-length earrings. The best are earrings of various shapes, colorful, they can be large, but they should not be longer than your hair. Rather avoid long, elongated, slim earrings that will get caught in your hair.
  • If you tie your hair into a ponytail, the choice of earrings depends on whether they are high or low. If your tail is high, feel free to wear larger earrings. On the other hand, if it falls quite low, it is better to put on sticks.
  • For people with curly hair, we recommend straight circles or ear wires. They are probably the best not only from a practical point of view, but the rounding of the earrings will also match curly hair.
