Here's The Formula To Picking The Right Earrings For Your Hairstyle

Graphic hoops and rhinestone clusters? We're all ears.

Full disclosure: we are firm believers that for whatever earrings you wear, regardless of your hairstyle, there’s a 90% chance they’ll look fabulous if worn with confidence. That being said, it can be tricky to graduate from pin-drop posts to full-blown, Carmen Miranda realness. Here are some stylistic guidelines to help you move from earring novice to expert
 
Your earrings ought to feel like the icing on your cake, the feather in your cap, not the awkward, douchey spoiler on the butt of a ‘95 Madza Miata. In other words, wear the earrings, don’t let the earrings wear you. If your skin has warm or olive undertones like blogger Karla Deras, gold-colored earrings will be especially flattering for your face (likewise for cooler skin tones in regards to silver). 

Got a pixie cut, or a sleek bun? Congratulations. You can literally pull off anything, especially outrageous statement earrings. Think about it: in the composition that is the tableau of your head, earrings are essentially replacing the space your hair would take up, so why not sport a pair of beaded tassels, rhinestone clusters or fat graphic hoops? 

However, if you’ve got a chin-grazing hairstyle, we suggest going for standard, medium-sized hoop earrings or a pair of ‘80s-inspired knots. Finally, there’s the long-haired ladies, who we love to see in baby hoops and ear cuffs as delicate as a line-drawing; your hair is stealing the show here, so let your earrings take on a more discrete role. We’re not against a pair of chandelier earrings in your loose, beachy waves – just know that they’ll create a more bohemian vibe.
