How To Style Different Types of Earrings by Hair Style and Outfit
Hairstyle and Earrings
When it comes to pairing your hairstyle with earrings, consider three key aspects: your hair length, how you style your hair, and your hair color.
Hair Length and Earrings
While long, wavy hair is beautiful, short hair offers more freedom in earring choices. With short hair, any earring style can look fantastic. For a sophisticated contrast, try pairing chandelier earrings with your short hair.
For longer hairstyles, avoid small studs or tiny hoops that can get lost in your hair. Instead, opt for linear drop earrings or large gold hoops to ensure your earrings stand out.
Hair Color and Earrings
No matter your hair color, gold, gold-plated, or platinum earrings will look stunning. These can be purely metal or adorned with beautiful diamonds. Learn more about the top five gold-plated earrings you need to own and how to style them.
Blonde hair pairs well with contrasting colors like sapphire or ruby earrings, while white earrings should be avoided. Brunettes should steer clear of dark brown earrings and instead choose pastels like cream, baby blue, or delicate pink. Redheads should avoid warm colors such as orange, red, or hot pink, and instead opt for turquoise, blue, or green to complement their hair color beautifully.
Different Hairstyles with Different Earrings
Elegant or relaxed updos are best matched with dangle earrings, particularly chandelier styles. For a subtler look, teardrop earrings are an excellent choice.
Braids or simple ponytails pair well with cluster earrings or huggies, which provide balance and won’t get tangled in your hair. A side braid looks fantastic with hoops or mismatched earrings, such as a linear drop earring on one side and a tiny stud on the other.
For half-up, half-down hairstyles, balance your features with delicate stud earrings. For a trendy 90s look, medium-sized gold hoops are a great option.
Outfits, Other Jewelry & Different Types of Earrings
When styling earrings, your outfit plays a crucial role. Consider the following aspects:
The fabrics
The neckline
The color
Outfit style
Other jewelry
Fabrics
Chandelier diamond earrings may not pair well with casual jeans and cotton. Conversely, a silk dress won’t look great with wooden earrings. Match your earrings to the fabric type—elegant fabrics with elegant earrings, and casual fabrics with more relaxed earring styles.
Neckline
The neckline affects not only necklaces but also earrings. Tassel earrings, for instance, don’t pair well with turtlenecks, while hoops may clash with a sweetheart neckline. Ensure your earrings complement your outfit's colors and avoid excessive color combinations. Elegance in your earrings should match the elegance of your outfit.
Outfit Style
For a casual look with jeans, opt for simple stud or hoop earrings. A formal outfit, like a silk dress, pairs well with more intricate designs such as chandelier or drop earrings.
Other Jewelry
When styling earrings with other jewelry, remember that your earrings are the highest-placed jewelry piece. This gives you more freedom with bracelets but requires careful coordination with necklaces. Avoid wearing statement earrings with statement necklaces to prevent a cluttered look. Ensure the metals of your jewelry pieces match, and avoid wearing jewelry sets, as matching everything can stifle creativity. Discover how to style mismatched earrings for a unique look.
