STYLE GUIDE
By Becky Stone
STATEMENT STUNNERS
Statement earrings are the sizable standouts you select when you need your earrings to pack a serious style punch. From the fantastical to the fabulous, anything goes for statement earrings as long as it can comfortably dangle from your ear. Party-perfect statement earrings are the ideal time to take a risk, so don’t be afraid to push your own boundaries of scale, color, and style.
SUBTLE STUDS Don’t sleep on studs just because they’re small! A good pair of stud earrings is one of the easiest ways to enhance any look. Classic gold knot stud earrings or a structural fun shape will flatter necklaces made from the same metal. Rocking a colorful pattern? Try defying expectations by selecting studs that match the secondary colors of your outfit, rather than the primary hue.
DAZZLING DIAMONDS
Sparkle is the ultimate neutral: it goes with absolutely everything. Your lobes looking lonely at a formal function? Add diamond studs or drops to jazz things up! Want to enliven a trip to the grocery store? Dainty diamond earrings are the answer. Diamonds are strong and truly timeless, so if you ever get tired of your diamond earrings you can always have the gems reset for a fresh feeling.
E ssential THE EARRING EDIT
DARLING DROPS With more length than a stud, more movement than a hoop, and more restraint than a statement style, drop earrings occupy the sweet spot between subtlety and opulence. Different drops can read romantic, sophisticated, whimsical, or fashion- forward depending on their design.
HAUTE HOOPS Endlessly versatile and always appropriate, hoops are an unsung hero of the earring world. A chubby huggie that fits close to the ear can complement a coordinating necklace or shine solo, while larger hoops are the perfect outfit-making choice for any type of ensemble. Tired of basic gold or silver hoops? Look for styles with unexpected texture, eye-catching color, boundary-pushing proportions, or other interesting design elements.
