Choosing Earrings that Flatter You!
Is There a Best Shape/Size Earring for You?
Choosing earrings comes down to trial and error. The true test is checking the mirror to see how they look on you with the outfit you are wearing.
When choosing earrings It is important to determine your face shape. Next when purchasing and wearing earrings consider the earring size, shape, and your skin tone. If you have tiny features something lighter looking will suit you best. The opposite is true if you are a large woman, a larger size earring will flatter you.
Triangle Shape Faces – having a broader chin you should consider button earrings or wide and elongated shapes.
Oval Shape Faces – wider in the center you should look for round button shapes, studs, hoops, drops and short chandelier types. All types will work with this face shape.
Round Shape Faces – the circular type look good in elongated or drop styles. Long angular and chandelier types are flattering also. You want to make your face look longer.
Square Shape faces – hoops, studs and button styles that fall below your ear loop look great. When deciding what earrings to wear it is better to go with simple styles if your dress is a fussy / fancy in design. If you are wearing something tailored or simple in design you can wear more of a “statement ” earring if you like.
