Choosing the earrings to suit your face shape

The shape of your face, the length of your hair and even your colouring have a huge impact on what shape and style of earring is best for you.
 
TIPS:
  • Long faces look good in chandelier -shaped earrings
  • Round and dangling earrings will make a fatter face and chin look thinner
  • Round faces and double chins should stay away from studs or circular clip-ons
  • Short necks become even shorter next to long, dangly earrings that hang to the shoulder.
  • Plain golf-ball-sized hoops suit everyone
  • Don't wear fancy earrings if you want to look professional and relatively serious
  • Diamante studs look like something fake trying to be real. If you go with diamantes, go full on over the top and celebrate it's false origins.

 
Oval Face:
 
Most shapes will suit you

Elongated styles will draw attention down instead of around
