Earring Starter Kit Must Haves

Every look has accessories that are best suited to it. The same rule applies when choosing earrings to pair with your outfit choice of the day.

There are three considerations to make when choosing an earring. They are size, shape, and length.

• Size

Your earring can be large, small, or somewhere in between.

Small earrings are often studs. Even the size of this differs, with some being smaller than others.

However studs are wonderful for everyday wear because they’re inconspicuous and blend into professional settings. It gives you the right amount of sparkle without going off the top. Classy, elegant and demure.

Large earrings have more of a presence, they announce themselves when you walk in. They are wonderful for parties and get-togethers, or days you simply don’t want to pass under the radar. If you’re looking to make a statement, I absolutely recommend throwing a large earring on, bonus points if it has some personality.

• Shape

There are different earring shapes because art often imitates life. Basically, you can purchase earrings in any shape you want.

Hoops, stars, triangles, semicircles, literally anything would work.

You can go the route of conventional or unconventional shapes. Conventional shapes are the ones one would typically see, such as hoops while flowers are unconventional because they are uncommon.

Shapes help to bring more depth to your outfits, thus immediately causing it to appear put together. The complexity induced by unconventional shapes makes your appearance more stunning and eye-catching.

Truly a sight for sore eyes.

Due to their sometimes considerable weight, it is advisable to use an earring lifter when wearing large earrings.

This would help your earrings stay lifted and also protect your earlobes.

• Length

Dangle and drop earrings exist for days when you pull your hair back and let the jewelry do the talking. The slicked-back hair presents your look as minimalist, while the earrings tend towards maximalist, resulting in a stunningly effortless look more often than now.

Dangle earrings are typically bigger and longer than drop earrings, but both can be styled similarly.

These are definitely more dressy than professional, but can also be styled to be casual. It all depends on you!
